Hi Petr,

I can't share the repo, sorry.
So, I'm trying to edit the patch :-)

The patch filename is:
_darcs/patches/20100219131550-acb52-eb2052c320a468e8a93fea8bcaf7112b29dd33cc.gz

After edit this (big) file i got:
  darcs check
  darcs: failed to read patch:
  Fri Feb 19 14:15:50 CET 2010  scripts at dorna.com
    * trying to fix darcs
  Couldn't parse file
/tmp/dev2_2010/_darcs/patches/20100219131550-acb52-eb2052c320a468e8a93fea8bcaf7112b29dd33cc.gz

I think I don't broke the patch "syntax"
There is a checksum or any thing else i have to edit?

I think it's not a hashed repo due to it was created with Darcs v1.0
and it has files like: "_darcs/pristine/app/misc/filename.php"

Thanks!!
