New submission from John MacFarlane <jgm at berkeley.edu>:

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it is causing
an error in the filestore tests.

1.  Create a file, foo, with contents "bar".
2.  darcs init
3.  darcs add foo
4.  darcs record
5.  darcs log --xml # to get the hash
6.  darcs show contents foo --match 'hash 20150403053308-0f649-b1eb60ba7610b6a71c09804439fc9ce61d5cd0fa'  # shows "bar"
7.  darcs remove foo
8.  darsc record
9.  darcs show contents foo --match 'hash 20150403053308-0f649-b1eb60ba7610b6a71c09804439fc9ce61d5cd0fa'  # shows nothing (empty)

I would have thought that (6) and (9) would produce the same output.

Is there any way to get the contents of an earlier version of a file
that has been removed from the repository?

John
