1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?) > darcs init > echo bar > foo > darcs add foo -a > darcs record -lam'added foo' --skip-long-comment > darcs remove foo > darcs record -lam'deleted foo' --skip-long-comment No changes! > darcs whatsnew hunk ./foo 1 -bar rmfile ./foo 2. What behaviour were you expecting instead? The second record should not tell me there are no changes, when in fact there are! 3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version) The latest from screened (after 2.10).

Isn't the problem that you're using -l for the second record, which means it goes looking for untracked files in the working directory, negating the effect of your rmfile? If I remove the -l from the second record in the test you sent in patch1357 then it passes.

Hmmm. You have a point there. I was surprised but it makes sense now that I think about it. Thanks for enlightening me.
