If I understand your script correctly it constructs the patch bundle itself from the patches in the repository. If you don't send the patch that is on the top, eg., darcs changes --last=1, then I think maybe you are taking a serious risk of corrupting your repositories. Granted, this may work if in darcs apply it is smart enough to see where the patch is located in the context and do the appropriate commutations, but I don't know without investigating the code carefully. It seems like the safer approach is to use darcs send and specify exactly which patch you want to send. Something like, darcs send --matches='hash 12345' -o mybundle.dpatch Now, sometimes that will want to send more than one patch, and I'm not sure how you'll want to handle that in your script. > Yes, I know that I could just use darcs send and select the patch > interactively, but my question is about how to do this from a script. You can also do it non-interactively. If you need examples we could discuss how on the list or you could look in the tests subdirectory of the darcs source to see examples that automate send from bash scripts. I can't tell for sure if your script is safe or not, but it seems like an avoidable risk :) Good luck!
