Consider the following transcript: $ darcs init $ darcs anno darcs failed: Annotate requires either a patch pattern or a file or directory argument. $ darcs anno nonexistent darcs failed: Annotate does not currently work correctly on empty repositories. Shouldn't the latter error take priority? That is, no matter how I use annotate in an empty repo, it should complain about the repo being empty.

Sounds like an easy one to fix.

Actually, I suggest we wont-fix this. It's really just swapping one corner case behaviour for another when neither is much more wrong than the other. Thanks, though.
