Hi, It is possible to: 1) Record a patch in the past, using darcs record --pipe 2) Record a patch with no patch name (eg. this can be useful when importing patches from an other VCS): darcs record -a -m "". But you can't do both, --pipe will reject the empty patch name. Would it be possible to just not check for empty patch name when using --pipe or add a new option that disables this check, enabling an "I know what I'm doing" mode? :) Thanks.

Hi Miklos, is darcs record -m "" --pipe acceptable? I checked and it works. [just assigning to you for tracking purposes, in case we want to figure out how to chase up on in the future]

Thanks, I'll use it and then you can close this ticket. :)
