Yes, but the functionality still has a glitch: when you select a patch
*when* you are inside a subdirectory, the script generate an URL of
the kind::

  http://server/.../proj/subdir/?c=annotate&p=patchname.gz

and the script shows the annotated directory listing of a completely
different patch (actually, the first).  Removing 'subdir/' from the
URL produce the expected output.

Consider for example the current patches on the 'cgi' subdir of the
darcs repository::

  http://abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/darcs.cgi/darcs/cgi/?c=patches&t=

and click on the first patch, 'add link to patch that removes existing
line', that brings you to the following::

  http://abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/darcs.cgi/darcs/cgi/?c=annotate&p=20040806191649-998a4-f0b727bffede69078779ffb927ef0e736774b854.gz

that actually shows 'initial version of darcsrv.'

Finally a question: is it possibile to get also the long changelog of
the patches, if any?

thanx,
bye, lele.
