Hi,

It seems [darcs send] --no-deps is not about "don't automatically
fulfill dependencies" (according to the doc), but about "if you select
foo and it depends on bar, then don't include foo, either".

See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/15569/focus=15596
for more context.

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this.

And twb: From the referred mail, I presume it is appropriate to assign this to 
you.

Thanks and best regards
Thorkil

Sorry for the delay.  The documentation Miklos is referring to is the
short option string (seen with "darcs send --help").

Due to the way these option "short strings" are currently implemented,
the string has to be the same for ALL commands that use --no-deps.
Whatever I change it to, must make sense for pull, push, obliterate,
unrecord AND send.

Since I don't use --no-deps myself, I'll have to spend some time
grokking its meaning (in all those commands) before I can prepare a
patch.  This won't happen soon, because I consider this to be a
low-priority issue.
