[darcs-devel] [issue2483] http://hub.darcs.net/darcs/darcs-wiki is not a true mirror: it has extra (spam?) patches

So, the correct way to pull someone's changes for the wiki from
hub.darcs.net would be to pull only the complement of his repo to the
mirror repo.

Example -- how not to pull the extra (spam) changes from a fork (imz's one):

[imz at ovicaa darcs-wiki2]$ darcs pull --complement
http://hub.darcs.net/imz/darcs-wiki
http://hub.darcs.net/darcs/darcs-wiki --dry-run
Would pull the following changes:
patch c6ee1c26ddc1fcbb6b6ddded99ade9a773bfea98
Author: Ivan Zakharyaschev <imz at altlinux.org>

  * tip: Invoking Emacs functions as external merge/diff tools.
  
  Preparing the args for an Emacs function in a shell script (as it is
done in the manual) is ugly. Here I show how do it with Elisp code.

patch 66383b0cb4abec8770687c00c1e8bd7c6dbc709f
Author: Ivan Zakharyaschev <imz at altlinux.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 23 20:40:28 MSK 2015
  * minor: correct formatting of code

Making no changes: this is a dry run.
