This concerns screened only, not any released versions.

The symptom is that when `darcs rebase pull` suspends some patches, 
we sometimes get a warning about "conflicts with unrecorded changes" 
even if we did not have any such unrecorded changes in the first 
place. Moreover, aborting the operation when prompted leaves lots of 
unrecorded changes in the working directory.

It seems that the call to `unrecordedChanges` inside of 
tentativelyMergePatches gives wrong results. Looking for possible 
culprits led me to

    * get rid of "nasty hack" in applyPatchesForRebaseCmd

finalizeRepositoryChanges has the side effect of updating the index,  
which can have an effect on the unrecorded changes, since we use the 
index to filter the working tree. And indeed the problem does not 
appear if --ignore-times is passed i.e. if we disable the index.
