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

darcs initialize 
mkdir d
darcs add d
echo sometext > d/f
darcs add d/f
darcs record -am'added d/f' --skip-long-comment
darcs move d/f .
darcs record -am'moved d/f to .' --skip-long-comment
rmdir d
darcs record -am'removed d' --skip-long-comment
darcs move f d
darcs record -am'moved f to d' --skip-long-comment
darcs obliterate --last=3 --all
darcs whatsnew -l

The last command results in this error message:

type (is a directory)

• test.sh

Forgot to mention tat I attached the test.sh file that reproduces the bug.

This may be related to issue2377.

This seems to be resolved as the test script no longer fails. Will add
it to the regression tests and move on...

I am re-opening this because I just saw that the test for this issue
still fails for darcs1 repos. BTW, I ran the tests in my clone of reviewed.

Note, the test is issue2382-mv-dir-to-file-confuses-darcs.sh .

It turned out that this was merely an error in the test script, which
did not account for the extra {...} that darcs1 puts around hunks.
Filtering them fixes the test.
