[darcs-users] CVS workflow vs. darcs workflow

I wrote that over three months ago, and I still work the way described.

Yes.

Pull basically works that way.

The whole point of the above is that the sequence is not atomic: if
the pull generates conflicts, you can decide what to do before you
unrecord.

``Couldn't commute past pending'' basically means that there were
merge conflicts in the unrecord phase of the above.
