Thanks for fixing this.

I just finished converting part of my work's Perforce archive into Darcs
(--pipe is very nice).  There was quite a bit of work, since Perforce
isn't very clear about what merges happened.

Now if I need to pull out an old release:

  % mkdir work/tmp
  % cd work/tmp
  % darcs inittree
  % darcs pull -m 'TAG I want to see' path-to-repo

and I have the version I want.  Darcs is then amazingly helpful in
allowing me to pick and choose a few later patches to bring in to fix a
problem.
