Subject: darcs record --look-for-adds leaves unrecorded adds in pending


darcs init
touch foo
touch bar
darcs record --look-for-adds
[Accept add of 'foo' but not 'bar']
darcs record

darcs now offers to record the add of 'bar', behaving just as if I'd
explicitly run "darcs add bar". I'm not sure if this behaviour is
intentional or not, but it's extremely inconvenient in my situation,
where there are only a few 'foo's but a very large number of 'bar's.

Note that it doesn't happen if nothing is recorded during the first record.

I checked.  It still does this with 1.0.8.

FWIW, I've now got used to using "rm _darcs/patches/pending" as a workaround.
Obviously this has to be used with care.

There's been a series of pending-related patches since 1.0.9.  This appears to
have been fixed in stable.
