1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)

I tried to use the new darcs apply URL feature in 2.9. I wanted to do

darcs apply -i http://bugs.darcs.net/file3320/update-news-with-2_8-
release-notes.dpatch

In the reviewed branch with context ctx (attached).

I got failed to commute common patches, the *entire* darcs history, and 
a link asking me to go to the wiki.  So darcs thinks it ran into a bug.

2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

Either that I'd already applied the patches, or interactive prompt 
showing me some patches.  In whatever situation, not a bug

3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)

2.9.1 (+ 481 patches).  Will attach exact later (gotta fix the tracker 
to allow that)

4. What operating system are you running?

Should be irrelevant, but MacOS X

Whoops! Nothing to do with apply URL (same problem trying to get the 
bundle by hand).  Sorry for the red herring.

For what it's worth, the old

darcs get http://darcs.net --context foo.dpatch screened
darcs apply foo.dpatch --repo screened
cd REVIEWED
darcs pull SCREENED

Allowed me to grab the patches.  So something conflict-related, I guess?
