Ah, I didn't even know about that feature. I think I am going to start
asking people submitting patches to jhc to use that, is there any way to
specify that as a default on the server side? I manage quite a few
projects with darcs and that would certainly help with evaluating
patches for projects I have paged out of my brain. :)

Actually, one of my motivations for this patch was a server script that
automatically entered incoming patches into a bug database and spit out
a url. so when the contributer does a darcs send they get a url to a
tracking page back where they can check on the status of their patch and
not have to worry if it was eaten by a spam filter or I just forgot
about it or something.

Also, I was curious if you would be interested in some larger code
cleanup work on darcs? Working on Send I found a lot of repeated code
that I think could be wrapped up nicely in a monad that will pipe darcs
environment like the flags around. Would you mind if I worked on this? I
think it will make it easier to contribute in the future.
