[darcs-devel] clue about repository problems

I know there are some outstanding bug reports about problems adding/ 
removing/renaming directories (by pulling a patch which does so).  I  
just now hit a case which I thought the darcs hackers might want to  
keep in mind.

If you are cd'ed into a directory (such as with cygwin bash or  
cmd.exe) then the operating system prevents anyone from rm'ing or  
mv'ing that directory.  If you darcs pull a patch which attempts to  
do so, then funny things will result.

Regards,
