I tried again with the new version, and it still didn't work for me.

The repo I'm using is to test is available here:
http://mark.stosberg.com/darcs_hive/dfv/

The file I'm using to test is 'Changes'

If I look in the temporary directory created by this function, I find this:

-rw-rw-r--  1 mark mark     0 Dec 29 20:37 2
-rw-r--r--  1 mark mark 15709 Dec 29 20:31 21__present
-rw-------  1 mark mark     0 Dec 29 20:31 22__from
-rw-------  1 mark mark     0 Dec 29 20:31 23__to
-rw-rw-r--  1 mark mark     0 Dec 29 20:32 29

How about the other darcs.vim users out there. Does this work for you?

This works fine for me.

I rarely use files or directories with spaces, and didn't in this case.
