Oh, this is another bug of darcs :-|

Here effectively we can see that {{{
Carpet/CarpetWeb/binaries/darcs-1.0.3-static-linux-i386.gz}}} is being
removed, but inspecting the patch more closely one can see
{{{
$ zcat _darcs/patches/20050606193150-891bb-
dad36762ac41517fe0a9136ea14fff32b2930f0d.gz | head -14

] {
addfile ./Carpet/CarpetWeb/binaries/darcs-1.0.3-static-linux-i386.gz

oldhex

}}}
So a single patch adds an empty file and removes it immediately. The
problem is not that, but rather the incomplete output of {{{darcs
changes}}}!
Now one may wonder if it's easier writing a parser of darcs patches, or
rather learning Haskell and fixing darcs...
I think this is http://bugs.darcs.net/issue185: more over, --xml-output
ignores -v.
