Sure.

If you hit this front page:

http://allmydata.org/trac/darcs-2/browser

Then it does the following series of invocations of darcs:

darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash  
20081020182156-72aca-1130292ee981f563df5b3b597a5ce9b8c220e8b2.gz"  
"GNUmakefile"
darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash 20080919071358- 
c31ef-8202a1a3f97fa2c322a6a9cfba9bcb87c2c6f42b.gz" "autoconf.mk.in"
darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash 20081010134727-72aca- 
aa7ed25dc493d1d79bd8d2b7406aa79b1098ac5e.gz" "configure.ac"
darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash 20081010134727-72aca- 
aa7ed25dc493d1d79bd8d2b7406aa79b1098ac5e.gz" "aclocal.m4"
darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash 20081020200931-72aca- 
cdd2b1802d196b0cd806966a224fbe4e9095d761.gz" "Setup.hs"

Then if you click on GNUmakefile, it does this:

darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash  
20081020182156-72aca-1130292ee981f563df5b3b597a5ce9b8c220e8b2.gz"  
"GNUmakefile"

Then if you click on "Annotate" (top right corner when viewing the  
GNUmakefile), it does this:

darcs annotate --xml-output --match "hash  
20081020182156-72aca-1130292ee981f563df5b3b597a5ce9b8c220e8b2.gz"  
GNUmakefile

Again.  Although actually I think trac+darcs notices that it already  
knows the answer in its cache and does not actually invoke darcs again:

2008-10-22 14:54:12,604 Trac[repository] DEBUG: Cache hit GNUmakefile  
at rev 6447

Then if you click on the revision number "445" in the left-hand  
column at line one of the file, it does this:

darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash  
20030521161034-96760-2dbfb6199b275601e825e40e0fb5a080ffc0b107.gz"  
"Makefile"
darcs query contents --quiet --match "hash  
20030521193910-96760-42b1e6ee4f6a178dbfde88c3070e917620964253.gz"  
"Makefile"

Whoops!  Then it gets an internal error in darcs!
