[darcs-users] darcs patch: Hide the inefficient "darcs put" command.

for me, put is buggy to the point of being actually counter-productive. Every
time so far trying to use put amounted to two darcs processes hanging doing
nothing, one on local end and one on the server. I somehow don't see how that
helps users with anything... So I am strongly in favour of either removing it
completely or at least hiding it, or at *very* least, stating in the
documentation that it doesn't work at all in some cases (which?).

On the other hand, it might be that the command is just so inefficient that it
fails to do anything in some 30 minutes after which I always kill it, obtaining
empty repository at the remote end?

Well, no matter, it might be that it works for others. But I'd like to see more
opinions on this problem (as opposed to just being slow).

Yours,
   Petr.
