Today I wanted to see what changes a certain recent patch had to some
files.
I knew absolutely that it included modifications to them, I just wasn't
certain what.
darcs diff -p "The Patch Name" thefile.css
... produced nothing.
To make a long story short, I was coming to the conclusion that
something was broken, I tried all sorts of different things.
Then finally it clicked... there were two patches with the exact same
name, the older one was the one I wanted but the newer one was being
selected for the diff.
If darcs had just noted on stderr something like
"Warning - 2 Patches Match, selecting the most recent"
it would have saved me half an hour of head scratching.
Stupid mistake I know, but I see darcs inherent helpfulness at the
command line as being one of it's biggest benefits.
