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

Trying to use darcs support in meld 3.16 on OSX. It works with darcs
2.12 but says "Invalid repository" with 2.14.

Meld darcs support code executes:

    @classmethod
    def valid_repo(cls, path):
        return not _vc.call([cls.CMD, "show", "repo", "--no-files"],
cwd=path)

that fails in 2.14:

darcs show repo --no-files
command line: unrecognized option `--no-files

but works on 2.12:

darcs2.12 show repo --no-files
        Format: hashed, darcs-2

 The trick we found is to remove other-modules: Version from
 the darcs executable.

Now that I submitted the issue .... I'm thinking this is more a issue
with Meld than Darcs ...
I will try to fix this and make a PR on Meld.
