To save typing, "darcs wh -sl" works just as fine.

You can skip this by just adding -l to the next step,

making this rec -alm 'commit name' -- this will remove removed files and add
added files. You need to have boring set up correctly to avoid adding files you
don't want.

You can streamline with darcs pull -a --dont-allow-conflicts, which will also
apply in the safe case (no conflicts).
