[darcs-devel] [issue2256] darcs diff && darcs whatnews can fail with " Unexpected failure in updateIndex! " when they perform no action

[Ganesh Sittampalam]

It's a bit of a tricky question, whether read-only commands should update 
caches like the [file] index and the patch index. I think they probably 
should, but they need to be tolerant of failure.
