I set up a prehook in a repository by adding "apply prehook foo" to  
prefs/defaults. Now when pushing to that repository darcs says:

> The following command is set to execute.
> Execute the following command now (yes or no)?
> foo

But then darcs goes ahead and applies the change without waiting for a  
response or running the command.

This is with 2.0.2 on OS X.

Virgil: thanks for the bug report!  Any chance you would be willing to submit a
test script for this (as a patch to our bugs/ directory, preferably).

Assigning to myself to reproduce and investigate.

Unassigning myself.  We need a volunteer to write a small test script for this,
likely in bugs/

Hi Virgil,

I notice that Darcs 2.1.1 has the patch:

Thu Oct 30 18:55:08 CET 2008  David Roundy <droundy@darcs.net>
  * make default be to --run-posthook and --run-prehook

which I think solves the problem.  Here is the test I made for it, which I
intend to submit to our regression testing suite .

rm -rf R S                      # Another script may have left a mess.
darcs init      --repo R        # Create our test repos.
echo 'apply prehook echo prehook fired' >R/_darcs/prefs/defaults
darcs get R S
cd S
touch f
darcs add f
darcs record -lam 'Add f'
darcs push -a > log
grep 'prehook fired' log

If this is not quite the same thing, please let me know.
