[darcs-users] why is darcs getting the "root" version of a file

[Terrence Brannon]

I dont understand why dacs would say it is applying the latest patches
but when you look at a file, its contents are only the initial add,
not all the patches to the file as well. The transcript follows. When
I cat the file, note how its contents are the initially added
contents, not the latest version of the file.

  Problem 1: SJT's code  for Chapter 5 of his book doesnt load. 
  His module uses a function called isDigit but ghci fails to 
  find it upon startup.

  Question 1: in the function first_digit will an entire list be generated 
  by the digits() function or will list generation be short circuited?
-}

import Chapter5
import Data.List


first_digit str 
    = case (digits str) of
      []   -> '\0'
      (x : _) -> x
