[darcs-devel] [issue1102] old darcs shows ignore-this junk with patches from new darcs

[Simon Michael]

New submission from Simon Michael <simon at joyful.com>:

issue1096 dealt with patch version info and was closed. Also discussed there was
the specific issue that 
"the new, non-useful Ignore-this output is displayed in all darcs
versions, if they happen to pull a patch with this info. It seems that we
display all a patch's info, including new fields which might not be appropriate
for display. I think a given darcs version should predictably display only the
patch info fields it knows about.". 

Given that many users will have darcs < 2.1 for some time, I think this will be
a much bigger annoyance than people realise and I don't think darcs 2.1 should
go out without some kind of solution. Am I wrong ?

See issue1096 for related comments.
