[darcs-devel] resolve issueNNNN convention

[Iago Abal]

It is ok, if I googled to search for examples is because (in fact) I want to
follow the existing conventions :) I think that nowadays I should be know to

stuff... so clearly follow a convention is not a problem for me, I just
asked because I was curious.
