what surprised me is that I'm pretty sure once upon a time there was a
final capital prompt for the obliterate action on the line: "Don't do it.
Ok, if you really want, you can do it. But don't tell I haven't warned
you". Almost certainly it wouldn't have saved me (if I had read the screen,
I should noticed that obliterate /= rollback), but who knows?
Which version of darcs are you using? In recent (not sure exactly which,
but I
can find out if necessary) darcs, there's a "last regrets" prompt which does
exactly that: after selecting patches it says "Do you want to obliterate
these
patches?"

prompt, so either I don't remember correctly, or that prompt have been
removed some when in the last years. Conversely, `darcs revert' (IMHO a
less dangerous action, being `unrevert' available) still displays a final
intimidating prompt.
Hmm, this (the fact that revert offers a final prompt) suggests you might be
using a darcs with last regrets. Did you perhaps use `darcs ob -a`?
Or maybe you're thinking of the message:
This operation will make unrevert impossible!
Proceed? [yn]
which would only show up if you'd previously reverted some changes, prior to
running obliterate?
Cheers,
