[darcs-devel] [issue718] You don't want to send any patches, and that's fine with me!

[Micah Anderson]

New submission from Micah Anderson <micah at riseup.net>:

I have a repository that I got from person 1.

Today, person 2 who also got the repository from person 1 sent me
patches to that repository, he also sent those patches to person 1 to apply there.

I ran darcs apply to add them to my repository.  

There was an error in those patches, so I fixed it, and then ran darcs
record to record my changes.

Then I wanted to send those changes back to person 2, person 1 had not
integrated the original patches yet, but when he does, either I or
person 2 will send my fixes to him. So I ran darcs send
--to=person2 at email.com and darcs asks me if I want to send the patches
that person2 sent to me and I recorded into the repository. Thats
silly, so I say 'n' to those patches. I went through those patches,
and then it said, 'You don't want to send any patches, and that's fine
with me!' without asking me about my fix.

It turned out that this is because my fix depends on those patches
that he sent me, but I wans't aware that darcs was being smart about
this. I resolved it by hitting 'w' and 'j' until I got to the correct
patch (note: these options were not listed as potential options!). And
then when i found it, I hit 'y' to send it.

Thanks!
Micah
