[darcs-users] bug with exotic file names?

[Matthias Fischmann]

sorry, i'm a n00b.

 1.) i have tried to reproduce the problem by initializing a fresh
     archive with a called 'file:' using darcs version 1.0.2.  i used
     darcs 1.0.9rc2 to 'darcs remove && darcs record'.  everything
     went well.  that was too easy.

 2.) then i tried to pull out all the patches that depend on the
     addition of the problem child in my "broken" repo:

        darcs get --to-match 'hash ...'

     but i got all the patches preceding the patch in question, not
     only those it depends on.  i tried a few more tricks and thumbed
     through the manual for a few minutes, but couldn't figure out a
     way to create a repo with only this patch (there is probably
     nothing it depends on).

any hints on 2.)?  which section of the manual did i not find?
thanks,
matthias
