The patch id isn't a hash of the patch, but a hash of the patch metadata. As far as I know, this gains none of the benefits of hash-based identification but suffers all of the costs and then some. Darcs probably would have done better to choose a random 20-byte string to be the patch id. > Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Depending on what you want to do, simply --patch-name-format="your string" would do. If not that, then writing your own pre-commit hook might do. Or else hacking the tailor source.
