I'm getting mixed results with this.  Perhaps it's because of the  
"[...]" square brackets acting as a regex character, but for a  
specific example, something with the title of "[build] ....",  
subsequently running darcs unrecord -p "[build]" or "\[build\]"  
brings up recorded items which don't even have "build" in their  
description (in addition however, it does bring back the one I'm  
looking for).  Am I missing something?

thanks!
