[darcs-users] darcs diff and boring files

[Peter Simons]

Using the latest version of darcs, I get the following strange output:

    peti:/etc# darcs diff 

    Files etc-old/X11/rstart/rstartd.real and etc-new/X11/rstart/rstartd.real differ
    Files etc-old/X11/xdm/chooser and etc-new/X11/xdm/chooser differ
    Files etc-old/ssh/ssh_host_key and etc-new/ssh/ssh_host_key differ

But:

    peti:/etc# darcs add X11/rstart/rstartd.real 
    Skipping boring file X11/rstart/rstartd.real

Also:

    peti:/etc# darcs whatsnew --look-for-adds 
    No changes!

What is 'diff' doing in this case?
