This is causing problems for darcs hub, where eg a 2k-patch-file repo can accumulate 34k additional patch files in two months. It would be helpful to know more what user operations or code paths cause the extra files (duplicate patch files ?) to be written.

Linking patch1134 here. This seems to be helping. Incidentally, is there a similar issue with files accumulating in the darcs cache (eg in ~/.cache/darcs/*/) ? darcs hub currently has 100k files there.

There is a summer of code project proposed by Marcio Díaz that aims at addressing this issue: http://darcs.net/GSoC/2014-Hashed-Files-And-Cache
