[darcs-users] Patches are immutable

I was more thinking along the line of separating the two uses:
adding changes to a development line (distributed, immutable),
and playing with changes (local, unrestricted).
Once I've decided on putting a patch in my rc repo branch,
I don't care much for grouping or replacing it.
What I would want instead is more powerful ways of retrieving
information on changes:
* Listing all patches (not just one) matching a regexp
or match.
* Printing a dependency tree for a patch.
* Listing all named patches (from a tag) and showing their
primitive patches that affect a range of lines in a file
(for example a function body). Like a history of diffs.
Same trouble; not implemented yet. Same fix; hacking. :-)
I'll see what I can do. Must learn Haskell better first.
