Typing 'darcs pull localpath' to a repository, and mistakingly
pointing the the path you are already in (following symlinks, or
missing one '../' can do that) you get the message that there are no
changes.
While this is completely correct, darcs could be intelligent enough to
know that the user made a mistake and inform him about it.
I suggest printing a message like:
"current and '$1' are the same repositories"
A second item;
typing: "darcs remove foo"
while foo is not managed by darcs can give you a:
darcs failed: Can't remove foo
Its not immidiately obvious to the user why. I suggest changing this
message to:
darcs failed: Can't remove foo since darcs is not currently managing
foo
