A long-time issue I have with darcs is that I cannot use read-only repositories, even with commands that -- semantically speaking -- do not change the repository, such as 'darcs whatsnew'.
> darcs whatsnew darcs: _darcs/index: opening of '_darcs/index' failed: permission denied (Permission denied) This is rather unfortunate in practical day-to-day usage, and I wonder if this could be fixed some day. Interestingly, 'darcs changes' /does/ work, as does 'darcs send'. Maybe it is really just a problem with 'darcs whatsnew'. I am using 2.8.0, BTW. I am almost sure the issue has come up before and there is probably an ancient entry in the bug tracker somewhere. Anyway, thought I might mention it as a sort of reminder. If you think this belongs to the 'probably easy' category, I might try to fix this myself.
