This isn't quite true. I don't remember whether it's unrecord or
unrevert, but one of those commands requires some interactive input.
That can presumably easily be fixed. At present I just feed "y" to it
through a pipe until it exits. :-)
However, IMHO YMMV the Darcs UI is not very good for non-interactive
use. For example, --patch names are much too fuzzy, while I haven't
found a good way to get unique patch names (ie, that you can feed to
--match 'hash XXXX'). Also, I find that the interactive modes are
incredibly helpful in disentangling mixed-up changes. I suspect it
would be rather hard to emulate those without passing darcs prompts
back to the user. So this would likely lower the quality of the Darcs
experience.
