This might be redundant with Tommy's reply, but...

Issue161 probably does not involve dealing with scary things; it should
just be UI stuff (that's generally what I mark as ProbablyEasy).

As Tommy suggests, you could probably look to see how Record does it and
refactor the code as needed.  You'd also want to look into
DarcsArguments to see how we deal with --switches [for educational
purposes only, you might also at DarcsFlags and DarcsCommand].

Lastly, I wouldn't worry too much about getting things wrong.  Darcs has
a few layers of defense: regression testing, patch review, unstable
branch testing, stable branch testing, various release candidates and in
the worst case, bug reports.

In any case, no pressure :-)  Just keep hacking on things at your
leisure.
