sound advice but I also trip up on that. In order for me to not forget
that a file is there, I need to either have a clear indication of its
presence or enter it into darcs immediately on creation. I may be
reluctant to do this because of the fact that I frequently throwaway
experimental paths and I would rather not clutter the repository with
dead remnants (unless Davis planning on doing dead branch pruning).
Sounds like this is where configuration management and bad memories
don't play nice together.
