Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net> added the comment:

In msg5926, I argued against putting this information in darcs changes
on the basis that the file hashes change during commutation, and that it
may be unwise/misleading to make this information too readily accessible
(for fear that they would use it expecting it to be stable).

I've since come to reconsider this position.  I think it makes sense now
to have both a hash="PATCHINFO-HASH" and a filehash="FILEHASH".

Steve Keuchel was working on this during the 2010-03 sprint.  If we drop
the ball on this bug, you should get in touch with him.
