Actually, it should be enough to get latest hashed-storage and build with
that. The bug is in there in unfold, 0.3.2 should have fixed that.

It's a sort of known problem, I have just been waiting whether it gets caught
by someone else (sorry for keeping you in the dark about it, but I thought it
would be an useful test of the coverage we are actually getting before the
release).

Btw., my strategy is to keep current darcs in ~/.cabal/bin which is first in my
PATH, and I also have Debian-installed stable darcs in the system. If darcs wh
breaks and I can't fix it right away, I just say /usr/bin/darcs wh. :)

Yours,
   Petr.
