  * resolve issue2001: repair fails to detect missing pristine files
  
  The trick is to call darcsUpdateHashes after reading the pristine tree. This
  makes it fail when there are missing pristine files.

Makes sense - a test case would be nice, but not required.

> Makes sense - a test case would be nice, but not required.

When I tried to add a test for this I found that the fix is not
complete. It works for files, but when I remove a hashed file that
corresponds to a subdirectory I get no complaints form darcs check and
darcs repair silently re-creates the file but tells us the repo is
already consistent and no changes were made. I'll have to investigate
why the simple fix seems to work for files but not for directories.

Testing this more systematically revealed that repair can fail to detect
missing hashed files, regardless of whether theyr represent directories
or files.

I will send a new patch with a test and the final fix in another ticket
because this one has already been accepted.
