[darcs-users] darcs cannot apply some patch bundles

[Ben Franksen]

Hi Experts

I recently had a situation where I could not apply a patch bundle created 
using darcs send because darcs apply complained about a missing patch in the 
repo. So I pulled the missing patch, could apply the bundle, and then 
obliterated the patch I just pulled. So, obviously the bundle did not depend 
on teh missing patch, so why did darcs not allow me to apply it?

Is this behaviour intended and if yes why and if not is it a bug or a 
technical limitation?

Thanks
Ben
