I tried that, but doesn't seem to work::

    sh-3.00$ darcs changes --last=1 . && echo "Ok"
    Changes to validation:

    Fri Aug  6 16:42:20 CEST 2004  tiran
      * validation: changeset 2004-08-06 14:42:20 by tiran
      Preparing AT 1.3.0-beta5 (tag at_release-1_3_0-beta5)

    Ok
    sh-3.00$ mkdir not_under_darcs
    sh-3.00$ cd not_under_darcs/
    sh-3.00$ darcs changes --last=1 . && echo "Ok"
    Changes to validation/not_under_darcs:

    Ok

Looking for an empty output may work, though.

Thanx David,
ciao, lele.
