This should ideally be separate tickets, but I'm in a hurry, sorry!
We should make sure that we've implemented the recommendations from
2010-03 sprint about default switches:
http://wiki.darcs.net/DefaultSwitches
See patch259 and patch285 (which I think you can cherry pick some bits
and pieces out of as needed)
Whatever is not yet resolved about this won't be resolved in 2.5.
The 'send --edit-description' and 'pull/push/send/fetch
--no-set-default' changes are in.
Whoops, I went and opened issue1898 because I thought this was marked
resolved. Anyway, I guess it's technically the right thing to do, so
this ticket is now waiting-for that ticket to be resolved.
