Suppose I record a change to a file x.
Then I do "darcs amend --edit" to add changes to y also.
In the editor, I see

    Changed x.
    ***END OF DESCRIPTION***

    Place the long patch description above the ***END OF DESCRIPTION*** marker.
    The first line of this file will be the patch name.

    This patch contains the following changes:

    M ./y -1 +1

The summary at the bottom of the file only lists the amended changes.
It doesn't include the changes made in the original patch (in this
case, changes to x).

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it certainly confused
me until I worked out WHY only half my changes were being listed.

I'm also unsure if this is a bug or a feature (it sounds rather handy actually).
 I'll point that one way to resolve that dilemma is to supply both sets of changes.

+1 for that approach.
