[darcs-users] How do disable "do you want to push these patches"?

I've been meaning to bring this up for a long time (ever since 2.10),
but had some trouble subscribing to darcs-users.

Is there a way to disable the extra  "do you want to push these
patches" confirmation introduced in 2.10?  It's always redundant for
me since I already decided about the patches, and it gets me in
trouble because my habits are to hit 'a' or whatever and then start
typing something or go to a different window because I assume I'm
done.  It's especially annoying when I just reviewed 200 hunks and I
accidentally cancel and now have to go select them again.

It also does silly things like this:

  Shall I pull this patch? (1/1)  [ynW...], or ? for more options: n
  Do you want to pull these patches? [Yglqk...], or ? for more options: n

As an aside, is there some special thing the prompt lets you do that
you couldn't do otherwise?  It seems redundant to me because we
already have an easy undo for most (all?) operations.  I looked in the
archives and couldn't find any rationale for it, but it may have been
a long time ago.


Also, is there any way to have 'record' go back to asking for a one
line summary and only opening the editor if you tell it to?  The
previous behaviour was more convenient for me because the accepted
hunks are right there to remind me what the summary line should be.
The current way immediately clears them off of the screen and I have
to go to a different window for a 'darcs w' to remind myself what they
were.


They're not showstoppers, but they to me they are minor UI regressions
that still trip me up after using 2.10 for maybe more than a year now.

thanks!
