Sometimes when I try 'darcs add' on a file, it complains:
"parent directory 't/' isn't in the repo."
I would like a flag to tell darcs "I know. I mean it anyway. Please
add any parent directories as needed".
I suggest:
-p --add-parents Adds any parent directories necessary for add to succeed
The "-p" is named after "mkdir -p", for which it serves the same
purpose.
I suppose for symmetry you might also need:
--no-add-parents Don't add parent directories. Expect them to be there.
