[darcs-devel] Fix for issues 329 and 308

[Kevin Quick]

Thanks for the feedback on the --ask-deps issue.  The following two
patches (plus some preceeding context) should take care of it.  I
didn't hear any dissent regarding these; they haven't been circulated
on the darcs-users reflector but they could be if there's still
concern regarding UI changes.

One interesting discovery was that there's explicit support for a
"partial tag" type of patch: a patch which has no actual changes, but
which explicitly depends on a set of patches.  I added a little text
to the manual to document this feature.  With the updated code, you
can have an empty set of changes (only with --ask-deps) or an empty
set of patches but both cannot be empty.  If you hit 'q' during the
dependency query phase, that aborts the record just as if you'd hit it
during the patch selection phase; typing 'd' or 'a' during dependency
query phase will select no more/all the rest of the patches
respectively.
