I did a get of a repository on my server only to find out that I 
actually needed to do a get --partial.  So I pressed control-C. 
 
The effect was that I got this error message: 
 
darcs failed:  (sftp) failed to fetch files. 
source directory: ./_darcs/patches 
source files: 
 
followed with all patches (some 6000 in my case). 
 
I suggest first of all to limit that output to a maximum of 30 files 
which failed; and then a '5670 more lines' at the end. 
 
Next; pressing control-c should not print this error message at all; 
it should print something like: "get interrupted, partial repository 
still present at 'yourRepo'".
