Ah... so doing -p on an old patch will include only the dependencies to get 
that patch?  I understand now, but I still find that a bit confusing.

I think my dream darcs interface to this would be to present all patches, and 
interactively ask if you want to roll back the dependencies too.  That way you 
don't need to know in advance whether the patch has dependencies (which can be 
hard to guess for large patches).

I actually assumed that, I never realised Darcs 1 did it differently!
