When I try to do a "darcs put" to a remote computer, using the latest  
and greatest darcs-2 on both ends, of a certain repository  
(attached), I get this:

ssh zooko@nooxie.zooko.com darcs initialize --repodir='zb62p2'

The full output from "darcs put --verbose --debug-verbose", and the  
repository in question, are attached.  (Hint: "sudo apt-get install  
p7zip-full".)

This is "fixed" by the following patch:

  * don't bother packing patch bundle into an email on darcs push.
  This is a workaround for an unknown parsing bug affecting email-formatted
  darcs patch bundles.  :(

The catch is that this simply avoids email-encoding the pushed patch.  This
won't matter for most users, but the reason it was added was because *some*
transport mechanism was corrupting patches otherwise.  :(
