[darcs-devel] Repository.lhs vs. DarcsRepo.lhs

The former checks whether we're in a repository.  The latter checks
whether we're in a native Darcs repository.

The former should be used as a precondition for commands that work on
both repository formats (native and Git), while the latter should be
used by commands that only work on native Darcs repos.

Yes and no.  The generalisation of Darcs to Git repositories is a work
in progress, but both functions make sense and should remain.  If you
want to refactor the code, your help will be appreciated.
