Dear Darcs folk

Here's a new darcs2 bug, alas.  I have no clue how to fix this.

I'm trying to get a whole new repo.

== running darcs pull -av --repodir libraries/base

Perhaps this is a 'partial' repository?

It certainly happened twice in a  row.

But I've now updated to version "2.02 + 76 patches" and it didn't happen.  So let's provisionally assume that it was a 2.0.1rc2 problem.

| Is this repeatable? It's the sort of thing that I can imagine could
