[darcs-devel] [issue1719] darcs backs up files too aggressively when there are conflicts

New submission from Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh at earth.li>:

Darcs helpfully backs up the relevant files with the name -darcs-backup<n> when
pulling or applying patches with conflicts. This is good because it means you
can recover your local changes if they are drowned in a sea of conflict markers.

However it does it unconditionally, rather than just when conflict markers would
actually be inserted. For example it does so when the options --allow-conflicts
or --dont-allow-conflicts are in effect.

The behaviour should be refined to avoid this.
