For the following questions, I'm using darcs 2.5.2 installed from
Hackage via cabal.

Is it possible to colorize diff command output?  I've set
DARCS_ALWAYS_COLOR=1 and DARCS_DO_COLOR_LINES=1.  The output of `darcs
whatsnew` has color but `darcs diff --unified` is black and white.
I'd like for them both to have color.

I use

$ darcs diff -u | pygmentize -l diff

$ darcs diff -u | colordiff
should work as well.

In other version control tools, I will often look through recent
changes, find one that's interesting and then display its patch.
Subversion's log command displays a revision number and one can do
`svn diff -c 1234` to see the patch.  Git`s log command shows a commit
hash allowing one to run `git show abcde123` to see the patch.  The
best I've found in darcs is `darcs changes --number` followed by
`darcs diff -n 1234`.  Do patches have a more permanent identifier
that I should be using instead?

For this workflow, couldn't you just use

$ darcs changes --interactive

? You wouldn't even have to remember a number.
