Martin,

Sorry to hear about your issue1650 troubles (it could be worth seeing if
life is any better with the 2.4.4 binary just to be sure)

It sounds like this should work fine.  (We'd certainly expect it to, or
else we probably would hesitate to release with the new feature).

If I understand correctly, the change in 2.3 was to add the ability to
save space by making hard links; which should be transparently readable
by older Darcs.

Thanks,
