Just dropping in to point out (the maybe obvious) that --partial
is default for 'darcs check'. Unless the --complete flag is
specified, 'darcs check' only checks patches after the latest
checkpoint.

Hm, perhaps darcs should also default to automatically do a
check before a new checkpoint is created?
