[darcs-devel] [issue1879] darcs fails to notice commute failure on ostensibly common patches

[Ben Franksen]

Ben Franksen <ben.franksen at online.de> added the comment:

I am marking this as invalid/wont-fix.

First, what it complains about is missing lipstick on a pig. The solution it 
suggests protects against spoofed patches only if they happen to depend on 
patches not in our repo. This can easily be avoided simply by making the spoofed 
patch in a current clone. We should be able to /reliably/ detect spoofed patches 
or not at all.

Second, and more importantly, the "fix" actually breaks Darcs in an absolutely 
horrible way. See issue2605 for details.
