New submission from Petr Ročkai <me at mornfall.net>:

Hi again,

unfortunately trying to reproduce issue1921, I ran in couple more
(fairly serious) bugs about darcs unpull -o where it produces busted
bundles. We may consider disabling it for the release.

Basically, passing any noninteractive matchers to unpull -o will make it
produce a partial and definitely wrong context, which then makes darcs
apply explode in a fancy firework. I have observed commutation failures
and bogus conflictors at least.

Yours,
   Petr.

PS: This is of course fixable, but I am not sure we want to delay the
release a week or more for this (i.e. I won't have time to fix this
sooner, so unless someone else steps up, I suggest just yanking the
-o/-O options from unpull on the release branch).
