[darcs-users] Pulling a patch *without* its dependences?

Hello,

I'm trying darcs to see if it'll help me maintain a private fork of a
public Subversion repository (for backporting bugfixes and select
enhancements). I'm using Tailor to mirror the svn repos into a darcs
repos called "master"; and I have a separate darcs repos called "fork"
which will hold my changes.

Now I only want to pull certain patches from the master repos, but
some of these have dependencies that I don't want.  For example,
pulling r5302 wants to pull r5232, but I don't want the changes from
r5232.  Is there some way I can find out which parts of r5302 are
causing the dependency, so that I can create a new patch to support
r5302 without needing the full r5232 patch?

Cheers,

Andrew
