It turns out that -m matches on patch names, but not (as I had thought) patch descriptions. For my /etc repo, the ability to match by patch description would be VERY useful. The auto-generated patches have name/descriptions like these: Tue Mar 16 18:30:56 EST 2010 twb * committing changes in /etc after apt run Package changes: +libarchive1 2.8.0-2 +reprepro 4.1.0-1 The patch name is pretty much always the same, and I'd like to be able to search based on the packages that changed, like darcs changes --match 'description reprepro.4\.1'

a bit of thinking over about matching would be useful for darcs. my personal wish is a darcs record --hunks-matching "some.*regexp" which would pre-filter hunks before the y/n question.

I think this should be fairly easy to implement. Maybe during the sprint?

The following patch updated the status of issue1769 to be resolved: * resolve issue1769: add support for --match 'comment ...' Ignore-this: 810d2ee013b907447ae0052a25214c8e This uses `comment' rather than `description' as the latter term is already used by darcs send. (Pointed out by kowey@darcs.net)
