This is a reaction to patch590 and patch609.
Currently:
darcs init
mkdir d
# add lots of files
darcs add d/non-existent d/*
# FAILS on non-existent file and aborts add (actually, crashes)
Proposed behaviour:
# Succeeds on all the files that *do* exist, but tells you about the
files that failed (but in a way that doesn't scroll by)
NOTE: the behaviour proposed may be wrongheaded. One risk may not
notice that something went wrong. Keeping in mind a sort of Eric-guess
about people: nobody reads unless they are really forced to.
