No, I was using interactive UI. The patch (call it A) I wanted to rollback had another patch (call it B) depending on it. B was offered by 'darcs rollback' and when I said 'n[o]' (because I want to rollback A) then I do not get offered A. How do I rollback A? Is it impossible and if yes, why? I ask because this would make rollback far less useful than I thought it were. Is this so because darcs does not know how to compute the inverse of a patch that some other patch depends upon? > Does this help? > http://wiki.darcs.net/FAQ#darcs-offers-me-unexpected-match-results I don't think this is related. I understand the behaviour for push, pull, etc. but was surprised to find it being similar for rollback. > More importantly can we improve the documentation? Maybe, it depends on the answer to the above questions.
