[darcs-users] -p behaves inconsistently

[Jim Blandy]

I'm very new to darcs, so this is probably pilot error, but the
following behavior has me very confused.  I'm using the
darcs-1.0.8-2.fc5 RPM, downloaded from FC5 extras.  I would like to
push one particular patch from the current directory's repository into
the repository in ../cvs (so named because it's also a CVS working
copy, if that makes a difference).  But while the -p option given to
'darcs changes' selects the patch that I want (dated Nov 2 14:06:14),
the same -p option given to 'darcs push' prompts for the patch I don't
want (dated Nov 2 10:47:28), and when I say 'n', doesn't offer me the
patch I do want.  I expected 'darcs push -p dwarf_expr_read_reg' to
offer to push the 14:06:14 patch only.

What am I doing wrong?

Shall I push this patch? (1/?)  [ynWvpxqadjkc], or ? for help: n
You don't want to push any patches, and that's fine with me!
