This is congruent to "darcs w -l".

That's OK, because "hg pull -u" does that, too (the -u switch).

Ooh.  And all this time I've been doing this fugly thing to avoid
a "darcs pull" introducing conflicts:

## "Kindly" push -- push all patches that don't introduce conflicts.
x=yd; while while darcs push "$@" <<<$x; do sleep 1; done; do x=n$x; done
