I do 'darcs get --context=non-existing-file repo' and see darcs copying away patches and creating a clone repository. Then, when darcs tries to "go back" to the specified context, it fails with "does not exist", leaving the full clone behind. I wish darcs would detect the missing context file before it starts copying the repository.

I think my patch fixes this: Fri Jan 25 18:37:41 GMT 2008 Eric Kow <E.Y.Kow@brighton.ac.uk> * [issue492] Check that context file actually exists in darcs get.
