This is wrong. There should not be a changepref patch anymore. However, 
the updated preferences were recorded. I check a clone of the repository:


/tmp/amend-prefs> cd ..
/tmp> darcs-2.12.0 get amend-prefs
Directory or file '/tmp/amend-prefs' already exists, creating repository as '/tmp/amend-prefs_0'
Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C...
Finished cloning.
/tmp> cd amend-prefs_0/
/tmp/amend-prefs_0> cat _darcs/prefs/prefs
test bar
/tmp/amend-prefs_0> darcs whatsnew
No changes!
/tmp/amend-prefs_0> darcs-2.12.0 whatsnew
No changes!
