If I understand correctly, this patch copies the chosen darcs into a temp directory before testing against it. What difference does that make? I thought you could already run against an arbitrary darcs, but I'm quite likely missing something! I think it will also go a bit wrong on windows because it doesn't use the .exe suffix.

patch508 might provide more context. The example use case here is for the hypothetical darcs issue manager who has a "darcs-2.5" and a "darcs-2.7.2" executable on her machine, ie. not actually called "darcs" Well, if we had an issue manager anyway...

Do I understand correctly that… - we might want something like this patch so that people can test against darcs executables that aren't named darcs (eg. darcs-2.5) - it should be updated to `<.> "exe"` on Windows

Probably too old to be useful for anything.
