I posted the patch to darcs-users.  Did it fail to arrive? It's under
100 lines of code, so I suspect it'd be easiest to just read it.  All
I do is throw in some random junk in the long comment of new
PatchInfos.  It's not going to help old broken repositories like ghc
has.  Fortunately, they'll soon be dropping these repositories.
