As reported in patch2344, the pattern ^dist[^/]*/ matches dist-newstyle/ on Linux, but not on Windows/Mac, i.e. darcs wh -l reports that the folder is new on Windows/Mac when it shouldn't. I'll write a test, just creating the issue now so I have a name to give the test.

After spending a while writing a test for this and getting a bit confused, I finally realised that it is working fine in HEAD (i.e. screened) but not with the 2.16 binary I was running with by default. I'm not going to bother tracking down whatever fixed it.
