[darcs-users] 'whatsnew -l' and locked files

[Richard A. Smith]

My Eclipse editor creates some lock files which darcs chokes on when 
doing a whatsnew -l.

[I've shortened the paths]

C:\>darcs wha -l

darcs: C:/.metadata/.lock: openBinaryFile: permission denied (Permission 
denied)

And it exits without completing the command.  Now I've worked around 
this by adding the .metadata to the boring files (which I needed to do 
anyway) but I propose that darcs not bail when it can't open the file 
but rather say so in the file list and continue on.
