[darcs-users] feature request -- 'darcs diff -u --patch="my patch name goes here"'

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

As per David's recent advice, I tried to use "darcs diff" instead of 
"darcs annotate" to get a patch that I could apply with the "patch" 
command.

First I took the "darcs annotate" command that I had used:

darcs annotate -v --patch="catch Tkinter exception so that ui selection 
can proceed"

and replaced the word "annotate" with "diff".  No luck.  Then I tried 
"darcs diff -u --patch-name=", because I've noticed that darcs 
sometimes uses an option named "--patch" and sometimes and option named 
"--patch-name".

Still no luck, so I ran "darcs diff --help".  None of the options 
listed there seemed to be the one that I wanted, but I tried one 
anyway: 'darcs diff -u --from-patch="my patch name goes here"'.  Nope 
-- that seemed to give, just as the help text said it would -- all 
changes since a certain patch.

So my next feature request is: please make 'darcs diff -u 
--patch="catch Tkinter exception so that ui selection can proceed"' do 
what I had hoped that it would.

Regards,

Zooko
