I have tried darcs remove .DS_Store. It didn't help. I'm going to
create a new repository. I thought darcs would deal with .DS_Store
files fine because there is an entry in the prefs/boring file for
that. But obviously in my case this did not happen.

What does it mean if I'm trying to check out a darcs repository
and I get the following error?
darcs: ./.DS_Store: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file
or directory)
.DS_Store files ought to be filtered out by the default boring
file. I don't know how one got into the repository and started
causing this error.
It's an evil Mac OSX behaviour I discovered in horror after I gave
a Mac user r/w access to my network share. It dumped one of these
useless files in every directory he visited. It contains some kind
of display configuration information, which makes it even more evil
on network shares, even (especially?) if you're a Mac user (I'm
not, so don't take my word for it). Windows does something similar
with those thumbnail files and sometimes desktop.ini.
Is there some way to repair the repository?
darcs repair doesn't seem to help.
Have you tried removing the file from being tracked, using ordinary
means?
darcs remove .DS_Store
To prevent it in the future, add a cleanup routine to your
project's Makefile that you can run before committing a patch.
