[darcs-users] annoyance with darcs convert . (darcs convert dot, aka the current directory)

then perhaps darcs convert . should be rejected, or at least give a
warning message?

Of course as a precaution I copied the repo to a backup directory. I
still don't really understand why convert inside pwd is a problem. In
any event, in this case it worked fine (after I edited _darcs/format
of course)
