New submission from Owen Stephens <darcs at owenstephens.co.uk>:
Say you momentarily forget that boring needs to contain regexes, not
globs, and your boring file contains just:
*.whatever
Then executing `darcs wh -l` gives:
darcs failed: Text.Regex.Posix.String died: (ReturnCode 13,"Invalid
preceding regular expression")
Can we make this slightly more user-friendly? The error is fairly
descriptive, but doesn't necessarily explain why and where it's come from.
