[darcs-users] darcs changes --match "hash X" doesn't always find the patch

[Benja Fallenstein]

Hi,

I'm using darcs 1.0.0 from Debian, and I've written a script to send 
darcs changes to a mailing list, which gets the hashes of all patches 
from the _darcs/patches directory listing and then uses 'darcs changes' 
and 'darcs diff' for getting the data to send in the e-mail.

This works almost always, but for the odd patch here and there it will 
fail with the error message

Fail: Couldn't find patch matching "hash 
20041201034601-2ee97-152836508703fd5da84641b37bce422b61e46de1.gz"

and a status code of 256 for 'darcs changes' and 512 for 'darcs diff'.

I can't see anything particularly special about the patches it fails for.

I've attached the two patches in my repository that it currently fails for.

Anybody have an idea what's going on?

[[ please cc me in replies -- I'm not on this list ]]

Thanks!
