Edwin's solution works for me, Tommy's doesn't.  (The full name is the
file name up to the .gz, right?)

Unfortunately, I realized that I can't pull a single patch for this,
because I have recorded a bunch of changes all over the repo in one
patch.  Stupid me.  I guess there is no way of splitting up patches
and pulling them hunk by hunk?  Or any other dirty tricks?  If not I
can still offer you an irc session, where you can remote control me
and let you kibitz.  Just let me know when and where.

I have thought hard about publishing the repo, but decided against it.
It's slightly to personal to end up on google.

Btw, more odd things are happening:

| ~/oldrepo$ strace -f -o trace darcs put -v server2.etc-network.de:newrepo
| Creating repository
| 
| darcs failed:  Couldn't initialize remote repository.

(this seems fatal, but not very explicit about the cause of the
problem.)

| Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

(this seems harmless.)

| Exit request sent.

And more oddly, if I don't strace and don't use '-v', it hangs, and
connecting to the pid with strace dipslays a stalling waitpid.

Finally, if I push too many 'y's too fast in interactive mode instead
of typing 'a', I get this:

| darcs: <stdin>: hSetBuffering: unsupported operation (Illegal seek)

Both problems with 1.0.9rc2 (release candidate 2).



boy, what's wrong with me?  :-/
