I like Juliusz' idea of running a script at predist time, although
personally I get by fine without any keywords at all anymore.

I agree. The most common use of keywords is for version tracking of raw repo-less copies ("what version is the client using when he got this bug?"). The easiest solution is just to always provide a full copy of the repo and let the client use ``darcs changes`` for that. Beyond that is to only distribute copies at Tag marks, which is usually an easy enough release schedule. When that doesn't suffice you have the option of running a predist script. If anyone wants a suggestion: an easy option for your predist script is to save a copy of ``darcs changes --context``.

Actually, that might be the most generally useful solution and something that might warrant a shortcut. What about adding a --context-file option to ``darcs dist``?
