i have a fork of a project in which i regularly amend my patches to keep my 
divergence in a small number of extra patches grouped by functionality (so, when 
a merge happens, i amend my patch causing conflict with upstream instead or 
recording a merge).

because of this i often need to amend patches, but sometimes i can not amend a 
patch which is behind another patch of mine which depends on it. for that i need 
to unrecord the dependent patch, amen the deeper one, and then rerecord the 
"outer" patch. for some extra headache, add multiple dependent patches.

i'm looking for an option, which when enabled, does not skip depended upon 
patches in darcs amend, but at the end lists an extra confirmation that amending 
the patch you selected needs amending the following patches... and then the list 
of patches follow.

if confirmed, all of them are amended.

any chance for such a feature?

This is the oft-requested "amend-record on steroids" feature.  I'm not sure if
there's already a bug tracker entry on it (I couldn't find one).  In the
meantime, this is awaiting some clarity on darcs rebase and also the patch
atomisation/regrouping features, as it's all a bit related.

I've found some info (and links to the sources) regarding the mentioned 
"darcs rebase" -- http://darcs.net/Ideas/RebaseStatus#where-do-i-get-it .

I could find the sources only at http://hub.darcs.net/ganesh/darcs-
rebase-20120820-old ,  not the initially given link.

(Are they too old? Have they already been merged into mainline darcs?)
