Context:

[remove link to obsolete mirror of kernel repo.
David Roundy <droundy at darcs.net>**20061212012644]

[Remove raw_mode functions from atomic_create.h.
Eric Kow <eric.kow at gmail.com>**20061008202738
It seems these were once implemented in compat.c and have since been
reimplemented in Haskell by Ian Lynagh on 2005-07-30.  These appear to
just be leftover declarations in the C header.
]

[Add make rules for tags files.
Dave Love <fx at gnu.org>**20061113213923]

[configure should fail if a required module isn't present.
David Roundy <droundy at darcs.net>**20061128024557]

[look for --disable-ssh-cm in defaults files (issue351)

[Define infodepspatch locally in AmendRecord instead of exporting it  
from Patch

]

[Amending a patch doesn't remove explicit dependencies
edwin.thomson at gmail.com**20061110222837]

[Make libcurl use any http authentication.
Tobias Gruetzmacher <darcs at portfolio16.de>**20061118230406
This let darcs use repositories protected with digest authentication.
]

[Support darcs send --disable-ssh-cm.
Eric Kow <eric.kow at loria.fr>**20061121134158]

[Redirect stderr to Null when exiting SSH control master.
Eric Kow <eric.kow at loria.fr>**20061118212115
This suppresses the output
* Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
    (result of redirecting stdin from /dev/null)
* Exit request sent.
    (seems to be normal output. Seems also that there is no way to  
suppress
     this; -q does not do the job, for example)

[Fix curses stuff, especially on Solaris 10.
Dave Love <fx at gnu.org>**20061120171211]

[Canonize Edwin Thomson.
Eric Kow <eric.kow at gmail.com>**20061118174454]

[Annotate various boring patterns.
