[darcs-users] darcs changes messed up?

[zooko at zooko.com]

It's a feature.

One way to look at it is that "darcs changes" is showing you the history of
how your local repo changed.  If today you pull a patch P1 that was written in
2005, and tomorrow you pull a patch P2 that was written in 2004, then running
"darcs changes" will help you remember that there was a time when you had P1
but not P2, and then a later time when you had both.

Another way to look at it is that you have no way to be sure when patches were
actually created.  The computer from which you got that patch could be
confused or lying about the creation time.
