That sounds nice.  Unfortunately, I don't think I understand what this
patch really does and how it works.

When you say incrementally, you mean in interactive mode, right?  I
didn't think it was possible to rollback the same patch in more than one
go.  My best interpretation is that we coalesce the effects into big
'islands' so that darcs asks you to make fewer rollback decisions, but
that sounds like a really shaky explanation to me.

I'll send an attempt at documenting some of the Prim functions, which
could be completely wrong, so watch out!
