[darcs-users] some special amend-records

I have this one question on amend-record:
Say we have a repository with patches p0 p1 p2 p3 p4. Then I realised
that some thing is missing in p2 say. If p3 and p4 commutes with p2
then I could use ammend-record. However, I think there are natural
use cases where actually p3 and p4 might not be commutable with p2 and
one could like to safely ammend p2.
Use case 1: I missed adding a new file when I recorded p2.
As I understand it, if p denotes the diff between the recorded version
and the working tree and if p commuted with both p3 and p4 (i.e. p3 p4
p can be commuted to p' p3' p4') then I should be allowed to ammend
p2. The resulting repository would be p0 p1 p2' p3' p4'.
(1) Is there some flaw that I overlooked ?
(2) Is there a way of achieving this in darcs 2.8.1 ?
(3) Is this feature implied by any other work in progress?

ppk
