[darcs-devel] removing darcs rollback --record?

Of course it isn't equivalent. However I can't imagine someone
purposely using revert as a stash command being surprised that the
previous unrevert patch was wiped out...

If someone really wants to be careful to keep all information of their
repository (working, unrevert), they can clone it with "darcs get" and
do a rollback then a record in the new repository, then push the new
patch. Tedious yes, but darcs currently embraces the 1 repo = 1 branch
model, so this is what we are used to anyway.

As rollback --record is a quite power-user and seldom used command, I
think the code simplification is worth it.
