Hi,

this change is required for darcs-fastconvert to be buildable from Hackage (and
it needs to be included in 2.5, otherwise darcs-fastconvert will stay
unpublishable till another darcs release).

The changes that will go into 0.5.3 are available in the normal h-s repo at
http://repos.mornfall.net/hashed-storage -- I will publish a separate branch
for the 0.6 work later.

Yours,
   Petr.

Just checking: is this patch functionally equivalent to patch346?
(it doesn't really matter which gets applied, just thought it was
funny to see this come up a second time for a totally unrelated
reason).

It looks like this patch is blocking on consensus on the relaxing
the lockstep policy documented in
http://wiki.darcs.net/Development/Policy#dependencies 
but which poses some technical difficulties pointed out in

* http://bugs.darcs.net/patch346 and
* http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2010-August/024995.html

I'd like a rough consensus on this, but (Reinier and Petr) if this is
really blocking urgently you have my green light.  What I figure is that
the new clever darcs --exact-version (which tells what versions of
libraries it was built on) is sufficient to avoid confusion.  We'd still
face the downside of increase the variability of darcsen in the wild,
but perhaps that's an acceptable tradeoff?

This is not a review, but I am fine with applying such a patch to the
2.5 branch. The patch does not even actually change darcs if it only
does what it says it does.

This is going in along with other patches... last chance to object! (we
can always roll this back)
