[darcs-devel] [issue158] rollback should generate a new patch

New submission from Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>:

This message is an import of bug #251 from RT. In summary,
there are some cases with dependencies which don't work now with
'rollback'. They are solved by David Roundy's suggestion:

 Actually, I think that rollback should be rewritten to generate an entirely
 new patch, with a new patch name and comment. When a patch is rolled back, one
 really ought to explain the reason why. This wouldn't be such a hard change,
 it's just that I essentially never use rollback, so I don't tend to think about
 it.

###

I agree with David's assessment and would like to this update to
'rollback' happen.

	Mark
