I did: darcs pull --match 'author "No Close Quote' ../many-commutations Darcs commuted for ten minutes and then exited with: darcs: Invalid --match pattern 'author "No Close Quote'. "match" (line 1, column 23): unexpected end of input expecting "\\" or "\"" I wish darcs would check command syntax (and fail) before doing all the commutations. This is with both current stable (1.0.9rc2 + some patches) and current unstable.

I agree this change would be a nice improvement. With novice Haskell skill, I was unable to figure out how to refactor things for a fix.
