I just had this confusing interaction with darcs send.

I tried to select a specific patch to send. The patch darcs finds
clearly does not match the pattern I gave it:

# Note that I search for 'gmake', but the patch name returned doesn't match.
#####
mark at nollie$ darcs send --patches=gmake
Creating patch to http://www.abridgegame.org/repos/darcs...
Sending by email to Davids Darcs Repo <droundy at abridgegame.org>

  * mention autoconf needs to be 2.5 or higher
Shall I send this patch? (1/2) [ynWvxqadjk?]
#############


So I say "No" and send quits. 


I try again, but this this time I select "j" instead, to move
the next patch, since I see that there are two. This works:

##########

mark at nollie$ darcs send --patches=gmake
Creating patch to http://www.abridgegame.org/repos/darcs...
Sending by email to Davids Darcs Repo <droundy at abridgegame.org>

  * mention autoconf needs to be 2.5 or higher
Shall I send this patch? (1/2) [ynWvxqadjk?] j

Sun Nov  7 11:25:22 EST 2004  Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>
  * clarify build instructions for multiple autoconf installs, plus make vs. gmake
Shall I send this patch? (2/2) [ynWvxqadjk?]

##########


Thus it appears that with help darcs was able to find just the patch I wanted, and
send just that patch.

It seems like this should be the default behavior-- show me the patches
that actually matched! :)
