It turns out that this message is very easy to misread. If you miss the
"from the" part, you think that everything above the ***DARCS*** line
will be ignored; of course, just the opposite is true.
And since this is the patch name, I found a confused user with patches
without names. Which he didn't notice before he pushed them. Just a
beginner's mistake, but it took me several minutes to spot the
oversight.
Can we omit the word "above"?
"Everything in this file below the line marked "++eod++" will be
ignored"
