Running in a cmd.exe shell, darcs won't let me answer the "really unpull
undecided patches?" question, instead hanging:

C:\New Folder\aup>darcs --version
1.0.7 (release)

C:\New Folder\aup>darcs unpull --last 1
plink: unknown option "-O"

Shall I unpull this patch? (1/1)  [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: <- I pressed 'a'
Really unpull all undecided patches? withSignalsH  <- I pressed 'y', and nothing
happened.  After pressing return a few times, then holding down ctrl-c, the
withSignalsH appeared.  I can't make it respond more.

If I run in cygwin, still using cmd.exe as the terminal emulator, it still
happens, but if I use rxvt as the terminal emulator it works, but I have to
press return after answering each question.

I can reproduce this, both with 1.0.9rc2 and darcs-unstable.
No idea what we should do about this though.

I've tried cmd.exe (which shows the symptoms above) and rxvt (which
works, as Edwin mentions)

I guess at this point we're waiting for somebody with Windows knowledge
to chime in.

Would this be fixed by using haskeline? There's a configure check for it so I
assume there's support for it, but it seems noone's using it? Dunno, really. Just
been wondering.

We'll need a volunteer to test this under Windows with haskeline.

In darcs 2.2.97 (last head) with haskeline 0.6.1.3 it works.
