Yes, the fact that darcs rearranges the hunks, at least in presence of
--xml, always surprised me! In particular, it always shows "moves"
before anything else.

Now that I know about "annotate -p", I'm tempted to redo the
tailor/trac-darcs parsers reading from there instead of digesting the
XML... ! Both of them implement a somewhat different logic to reorder
the hunks in a sensible way... and sometime they don't get it right!

ciao, lele.
