Claus, Thanks very much for the feedback! We're sorry to have communicated so poorly in the past and giving such a shaky impressions. We are trying to learn from our mistakes and do better from now on. Before saying more, I want to make it absolutely clear that I have no intention of advocacy. Whatever the GHC team has settled on, the darcs team will support wholeheartedly.
Addressing your specific concerns:

Do you get this using darcs 2? We would appreciate a bug report!

We would need to be able to reproduce this to give you a definitive
answer. My guess is that the permission denied error is due to a darcs
bug under Windows, while emitting a warning and moving on is a feature.
Particularly, darcs will exit if it has trouble applying the patch to
its internal pristine cache... but if it is having trouble applying a
patch to the working directory, it tries to do the most robust thing by
emitting a warning and moving on.
In any case, your repository is still consistent, although your working
directory may have some debris and missing changes. You can check on
this by doing whatsnew and revert. We think that this an improvement
over older version of darcs, which would leave the repository in a very
suprising (albeit) consistent state.
Please have a look at http://bugs.darcs.net/issue434 for more details.
For what it's worth the renameFile problem may also have been fixed in
darcs 2. Please also see http://bugs.darcs.net/issue443 or send us a
bug report.
> (#911 is another one that keeps coming up: odd leftover moves/renames

I think this has been fixed in darcs 2.
Please see http://bugs.darcs.net/issue911
Again, we would appreciate it if you would let us know if you encounter
the situation where darcs 2 produces one of these problems.

Darcs 2 fixes the small things above regardless of the repository format
you use.

Actually, darcs 2 is very much the same code as darcs 1. While there
has been a lot of work in the underlying patch theory stuff, the rest of
the code is a set of many incremental improvements. "Little" issues
still exist. They make us unhappy and we want to fix them. But given
our extensive use of automated regression testing (Jason will be talking
about this in a separate email), we hope that you can feel confident
that darcs 2 is an overall improvement in issues both large and small.
Anyway, I'm attaching the list of patches between darcses 1.0.9 and
2.0.0 that have the word 'issue' in them, i.e. the output of:
darcs changes --from-tag=1.0.9 --to-tag=2.0.0 -p issue
Hopefully this will give you an idea of how many issues we have worked
on between the two darcses. My rough grep-assisted count is around 190.

Mark Stosberg has done a great job going through the bugtracker and
tagging bugs as being Darcs2 related or not. Would our extensive
library of regression tests that have been around since way before darcs
2 do anything to reassure you?
Please have a look at the bugtracker in its present state and let us
know if we can still do better!
(note: the bug counts are inflated inflated because the bugtracker has
been creating two tickets per new bug... we have somebody working to
resolve this metabug)

This is entirely my fault. I did not do a good job searching through
the bug history and relied on my hazy memory. As you may have noticed,
I revisited that bug and discovered that it was something that has been
fixed since August 2007. We will work harder on giving definitive
answers, and letting users know as soon as possible what they can do to
recover.
Claus, we've learned a lot from your feedback. Thanks, and keep talking
to us!

Say you do something like this TZ=CET darcs changes --match="date 2008-02-26" Prior to this patch, darcs would give you all the patches on the 25 Feb CET, and not the 26th as one would expect. The reason why was that the date matcher tries to convert dates to UTC (normalising all dates and avoiding timezone-related trouble), but it incorrectly leaves the converted date in an imprecise format. In this example, 2008-02-26 CET should be thought of as an interval starting on midnight of that day, which in UTC terms is an interval starting 2008-02-25 23:00. Where darcs stumbles is that it then proceeds to chop off the 23:00 (because the original date was only precise up to the day). This patch avoids all that mess. There may need to be a bit more work under the hood to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.

Sun Oct 28 12:11:01 GMT 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue298] Backup conflicted working dir files as needed. Backup conflicted working dir files as needed. The difference between this and the other backup working dir patch is that the files here actually are managed by darcs. In either case, we want to avoid losing the user's work. Sun Aug 19 21:18:09 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add tests for issue354 and issue358. Sun Aug 19 21:16:19 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue354, issue358] Handle corner cases pulling from self. Sun Aug 19 20:34:24 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue268] Fix bug in make_dotdots. Sun Aug 19 20:33:30 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add issue268 test. Sun Aug 19 19:08:50 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue427] Add path fixing to darcs send. Fri Oct 26 00:57:30 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue320] Disable mmap under Windows. Mon Aug 20 22:19:55 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add test for issue298. Mon Aug 20 21:43:24 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add tests for issue319 and issue440. Tue Aug 21 06:19:42 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue319, issue440] Backup unmanged working dir files as needed. If f is to be overwritten, it will be first renamed to f-darcsbackup0 (or f-darcsbackup1, f-darcsbackup... as needed). Tue Aug 21 06:49:32 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue407] Offer some minimal advice if sendmail failed. Tue Aug 21 06:41:03 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue259] Documentation: files already being tracked are never boring. Tue Sep 18 19:39:51 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue537] Clarify error message for --last. Tue Aug 14 21:45:05 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue348] Never create tmpdir in _darcs. Truncate the _darcs part of the path. Mon Aug 20 06:22:38 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue520] Make --checkpoint short help more explicit. Mon Aug 13 18:43:04 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue379] Do not show patch contents after help in interactive mode. Fri Aug 10 23:02:30 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue125] Tell user that when we skip patches in interactive mode. Fri Aug 10 23:01:48 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue164, issue228] Accept 'p' and 'x' in darcs record. Affects any command with interactive primitive patch selection. Fri Aug 10 23:00:04 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue105] Accept interactive 'x' command in darcs rollback. Affects any command with interactive named patch selection (e.g. amend). Sun Aug 12 14:53:19 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Simplify issue494 test (it's not about capitalisation). Sat Aug 11 22:11:34 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add a test for issue494. Tue Aug 7 22:06:22 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue69] Add a table of environmental variables to the manual. This makes it possible to support a more usage-oriented rewrite of the environmental variables doc. Thu Aug 2 05:08:13 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue141] Implement darcs show contents command. Wed Aug 1 19:41:38 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add test for issue467.

Fri Jul 27 21:52:33 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue161] Implement amend-record --edit-long-comment, etc. Should also satisfy requests in issue77, issue276 and issue388. Fri Jul 27 21:35:03 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue389] Support record -m --prompt-long-comment. Sun Aug 5 07:14:31 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Resolve conflicts between issue353 and GUI removal patches. Wed Aug 1 22:30:28 BST 2007 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * resurrect --no-deps [issue353] Mon Jul 30 21:42:20 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Resolve the expected conflict with 'resolv issue490 fix' Sun Jul 29 23:54:10 BST 2007 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * resolv issue490 fix in stable (will conflict with resolv in unstable) Mon Jul 23 07:21:14 BST 2007 Kevin Quick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add test for issue308 Sat Jul 28 20:03:29 BST 2007 Kevin Quick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix issue308: don't record empty patch with --ask-deps Sun Jul 22 22:19:00 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue386] Fix some --dry-run messages: "Would push" not "Pushing". Sun Jul 22 06:32:00 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * [issue313] Ensure that logfile for record has trailing newline. Tue Jul 24 02:34:25 BST 2007 Zachary P. Landau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Makes non-repository paths in DarcsFlags absolute [issue427]. Wed Jul 18 06:54:26 BST 2007 Kevin Quick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix issue329: typing q for record --ask-deps records anyway with no deps. Wed Jul 18 22:01:38 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix missing newline in inventory (issue412). This simplifies third party scripts that have to parse the darcs inventory. Tue Jul 17 19:01:27 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add all pulled repos to _darcs/prefs/repos (issue368). Tue Jul 17 11:32:57 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Implement apply --dry-run (issue37). Tue Jul 17 11:16:07 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Do not set defaultrepo if --dry-run (issue186). Tue Jul 17 06:44:31 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add test for issue396. Tue Jul 17 06:43:19 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Filter out empty filenames (issue396). Tue Jul 17 06:07:32 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Use prettyException in clarify_errors (issue73). This solves one of three bugs in issue73, namely that we blame the user for darcs's own errors. Mon Jul 16 23:56:35 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Rename resolve to mark-conflicts (issue113). Resolve is retained as a (hidden) alias. Mon Jul 16 23:03:08 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Make --directories the default in query manifest (issue456). Mon Jul 16 22:06:31 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Allow --list-options even if command cannot be run (issue297). If the command cannot be run, just print the possible flags, not the file args. Mon Jul 16 21:29:44 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Implement command stubs 'rm', 'unadd', 'move' (issue127). These hidden commands are either stubs (they print some text and quit) or aliases (they do the same thing as some other command). Sun Jul 15 18:08:43 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix supercommand --help (issue282). Sun Jul 15 00:05:19 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Add crossref.png (issue485). Sat Jul 14 17:54:41 BST 2007 Dave Love <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Define datarootdir early enough in autoconf.mk.in (issue 493). Sun Jul 8 12:26:18 BST 2007 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix issue490 conflicts. Fri Jun 29 20:57:41 BST 2007 David Roundy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * fix for issue 490 This patch ensures that we never try to use a checkpoint for a tag that isn't in a place where the inventory is broken. It's a little ugly because it also puts more of the checkpoint handling code in Checkpoint, which required a refactor to avoid import loops. Wed Jul 11 23:50:49 BST 2007 Kevin Quick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Fix issue420: User Agent size limit for curl gets is removed. Fri Jul 13 00:35:59 BST 2007 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * work around < < problem in bigpage.html [issue483] latex2html seems to misunderstand the sequence "\<" in verbatim mode, so I split it into two verbatim sections. It appears to look the same, but it could probably cause an unfortunate line break. Sat Feb 3 17:34:40 GMT 2007 Zachary P. Landau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Restore working directory if no repository is found (issue385). seekRepo continues to go further up the directory tree looking for a repository. If we are not in a repository, our current working directory becomes /. This causes problems with code that falls back on creating temporary files in the current directory. This patch will restore the directory the user started in if seekRepo fails. Wed Dec 20 11:08:07 GMT 2006 Benedikt Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * fix [issue370], darcs ignored args contained in VISUAL variable given VISUAL="emacs -nw", darcs would run "emacs file" instead of "emacs -nw file" Sun Dec 17 21:23:40 GMT 2006 David Roundy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * fix issue360, with darcs mv foo foo. Sat Nov 11 15:42:59 GMT 2006 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * change message in 'darcs check' from "applying" to "checking" (issue147) Fri Sep 29 15:53:35 BST 2006 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * remove duplicate file names in fix_filepaths (fixes issue273) Sat Aug 12 11:20:34 BST 2006 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Be explicit about timezone handling (issue220); assume local by default. Except for the local timezone in the user interface, this patch is not expected to change darcs's behaviour. It merely makes current practice explicit: - Assume local timezone when parsing date strings from the user interface (previous behaviour was assuming UTC). - Assume UTC timezone when parsing date strings from PatchInfo. Newer patch date strings do *not* specify the timezone, so it would be prudent to treat these as UTC. - Disregard timezone information altogether when reading patch dates (issue220). Note that this bug was not caused by assuming local timezone, because legacy patch date strings explicitly tell you what the timezone to use. The bug was caused by a patch that fixed issue173 by using timezone information correctly. To preserve backwards-compatability, we deliberatly replicate the incorrect behaviour of overriding the timezone with UTC. (PatchInfo.make_filename) Sat Jun 10 20:30:49 BST 2006 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Account for timezone offset in cleanDate (Fixes issue173).
