In Darcs 1.0.8, if a .git is present, darcs claims that it's not in a
repository when I run a command.

If I mv .git .foo, then darcs works fine.

This is darcs 1.0.8 from Debian, which is not compiled with Git support.

This behavior breaks using tailor to convert git to darcs.

Luckily tailor has workaround for that :)

Too bad following so close an "alien" VCs is a so darn difficult goal :)
