I did an experiment -- making a file unreadable and then pushing a patch that
touched that file -- and got a different problem:

 wonwin-mcbrootles-computer:~/darcsexperiment/y$ darcs push -a -v ../x
Pushing to "../x"...
We have the following patches to push:
Wed Apr 30 19:40:30 MDT 2008  z2
  * add

darcs failed:  Error applying patch to working dir:
./file: openBinaryFile: permission denied (Permission denied)
Apply failed!

In this latter case the target repository has been "corrupted" inasmuch as the
working directory differs from the pristine, which is not supposed to happen on
a push (without allow-mark-conflicts).
