[darcs-users] --no-deps not doing what I expect

I have a patch named "two" that depends on a patch named "one".  I
expected

  darcs pull --no-deps -p two

to fail, but it doesn't.  It asks me interactively if I want to pull
patch one, just as it does without --no-deps.  Is this a bug or have I
misinterpreted what --no-deps is supposed to do?

The manual on the web seems to support my expectation (see quote below),
but it's the manual for 1.0.9.  I can't find a manual for the current
stable version anywhere!

  If you really only want the patches with `bugfix' in their name,
  you should use the --no-deps option, which makes darcs pull in only
  the selected patches which have no dependencies (apart from other
  selected patches).
