While I can not say about that, the problem experienced by the original 
poster is something I have also experienced very often.

Basically, when I am making changes to code (new feature), I might also 
make other changes near it which are unrelated (minor bug-fix). When it 
comes time to record darcs will (correctly) generate a diff containing 
both changes in a single hunk, and I have to manually edit the file to 
undo one of the changes, record it, and redo the changes and record the 
second change.

In many cases the changes do not depend on each other, and in these 
cases it would be great if darcs allowed us to break the hunk into parts 
which can be recorded separately.
