[darcs-devel] [issue1055] darcs changes --context doesn't work well with other options

[David Leverton]

New submission from David Leverton <levertond at googlemail.com>:

In darcs 2.0.2 and also built from the current darcs repo, "darcs changes
--context --tags=xxx" and "darcs changes --context --to-tag=xxx" don't give
useful output for "non-recent" tags, that is, those that don't appear in the
output of "darcs changes --context | grep TAG".  With a recent tag, such as
2.0.2 in darcs's own repository, they produce the expected

    Context:

    [TAG 2.0.2
    David Roundy <droundy at darcs.net>**20080624012041]

however with 2.0.1 I get

    Context:

for --tags and

    Context:

    darcs: Couldn't find a tag matching "tag-name 2.0.1"

for --to-tag

droundy says that --to-tag should definitely work.  I'm not sure whether or not
he meant that --tags should work too, so I'm mentioning it just in case.  This
may also apply to some of the other "darcs changes" options for selecting
patches, but I'm only interested in --tags and/or --to-tag ;-)
