Judging from Max's observation (that you can just rollback the tag along with the patch you want), this may just be a natural consequence of how darcs works and therefore not a good idea to try and fight. If I understand correctly, the reason darcs won't let you rollback past a tag is simply because the tag depends on the stuff behind it. We can test this out by creating a repo where you have an out-of-order tag (ie, by pulling a tag). If I'm right, then darcs should let you rollback the patch which is not depended on by the tag even though it's "behind" it. If it does not, then yeah, I agree with Trent to the extent that at least this should be possible. I may be mistaken. I do dimly remember some sort of stop-at-last-tag behaviour too that this may be a remnant of, but it'd be a good idea to understand what exactly is happening. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
