This is not (yet) for screened; it contains (unconditional) debug output and
I am not sure I have covered all cases. I would love to get some feedback.

The code is more or less a re-write, but it seems to work... The support
code at the end was added mostly because I was getting headaches trying to
reconcile all the different types used for (argument-) path lists, I simply
needed some structure where I could encapsulate things like conversions,
intersection, and lifting. This patch has been lying around here for too
long and I don't want to let the work go to waste just because the result is
not yet perfect. I hope I'll find the time to finish it...

This is a rebased version with tamed debug output (using debugDocLn instead
of putDocLn). It doesn't look as if I will find the time to further improve
it, so I think we should use it as is, as suggested by Ganesh.

A superficial question: Why add FilePath-related functions in 
Darcs.UI.Commands.MarkConflicts and not in Darcs.Util.Path ?

Isn't this new Only datatype useful also in other commands in which
specifying files restricts the action to them (from a quick glance,
whatsnew, record, amend, revert, unrevert, log) ?

gh: I wanted to avoid adding yet another file path related abstraction
until the new one really proved to be useful enough to warrant such an
addition. I remember having great difficulty to come to grips with the
many existing ones when I started hacking on darcs (RelativePath,
AbsolutePath, + OrURL variants, FileName, AnchoredPath, etc not to
mention the multiple conversion functions between them), some of whom
are of questionable utility if you ask me. It is usually a lot harder to
get rid of such a thing than to introduce it. The path related support
code I added was written so that it can be easily factored to its own
module (or Darcs.Util.Path) if desired. And yes, I do think other
commands may be able to profit from re-using it, but my experience so
far suggests that you don't really know for sure until you actually go
head and do the re-factoring.
