Were your tests done by any chance with a darcs compiled with ghc

I'm afraid it's not compiled with 6.8.2 or earlier. It's the "version
2.0.2 + 75 patches" one from
<http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries>. I've attached its
--exact-version.
# darcs2 +RTS --info | find "version"
,("GHC version", "6.8.3")
Shortest testcase:
# mkdir test
# cd test
# darcs2 init --darcs-2
# echo a >a
---wait a while---
# darcs2 record --look-for-adds -a -A "test" -m "test"
Finished recording patch 'test'
After that, the modified time of /test/a is 11:40:25 and the modified
times of /test/_darcs/hashed_inventory and the files it directly or
indirectly references are all 11:41:32. There's an unreferenced file in
/test/_darcs/pristine.hashed/, but that has a modified time of 11:38:50
(which seems to match the creation time for the repo).
I get the same behaviour when a file is simply modified, rather than
being created. I also get the same behaviour when I use --hashed rather
than --darcs-2 (and also, again, when the file is simply modified).
Or maybe there's a bug in the windows-specific code. I don't know.
But what you're describing is definitely a bug, since darcs does
track time stamps.
So I should raise a bug for this? Either way, now might be a good time
for me (or a colleague) to try to get a working Windows build environment.
Regards,
Grant.

[Fix Windows build
Simon Marlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>**20080819134252
On Windows, System.Posix.Types.FileOffset is not the same as the type
of the st_size field of the stat structure: the latter is Int64,
whereas COff == Int32.
This is almost ceratinly not the right fix, but it gets the build
going.
In general I don't recommend using System.Posix.* on Windows. The
right way is to either use the official platform-independent libraries
like System.IO, System.Directory or System.Process, or to use
System.Win32 directly.

(2) darcs transfer-mode more widely deployed could help a lot of people

man (nroff) treats an apostrophe in the first column specially,

Ideally, all cases of 'foo' in the manpage (i.e. docstrings) should
become `foo', since man -Tps turns ` and ' into left and right single
