[darcs-devel] [issue1022] spurious "R binary file" in whatsnew

Just summing up things so far: on a darcs 1 repository with darcs 2

we have been unable to reproduce the bug but Thorkil does have a repository
somewhere with similar behaviour.  There seems to be a common theme of binary
files in here somewhere.

This sounds like another pending bug, possibly one that has been fixed between
darcs 2.0 and now.

So I still need a volunteer to
 - obtain a copy of darcs 2.0.0
 - unpack
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2007-08-29-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2
 - obtain a copy of the real GHC head
 - darcs pull from the real HEAD into the tarball one using the old darcs 2

We've established that darcs 2.0.2 does not exhibit this behaviour, and if we
can reproduce it with darcs 2.0.0, I think it will be safe to assume that it has
since been fixed.
