The second to last patch "rename module Darcs.Patch.Parse to
Darcs.Util.Parser" wasn't contained in the original large bundle because it
conflicted with screened. I rebased and added it because I think it belongs
here.

  * restore alphabetical order of exposed-modules in darcs.cabal

  * replace our own patch parser with attoparsec
  
  We already depend on attoparsec for convert import and its functionality and
  implementation is quite similar to our self-written parser monad. I have
  checked that this does not impact performance negatively.

  * take advantage of attoparsec error message for patches and inventories
  
  This changes the return type of readPatch and parseInventory from Maybe to
  Either String. Attoparsec's error messages are weak but that's still better
  than none at all.

  * replace parseStrictly with parse everywhere
  
  This is not a simple rename but changes the output type from Maybe to Either
  String throughout.

  * rename module Darcs.Patch.Parse to Darcs.Util.Parser
  
  There is nothing specific to patches in this module, in fact we use it for
  inventories as well.

This bundle isn't, semantically, part of the addition of v3 patch 
theory, it just happens to depend on it.

I was quite nervous about this until I compared the old code which 
also works on ByteString.Char8.

I suspect this change would have been slightly easier to review if 
ReadMonads.hs had been renamed to Parse.hs, but of course a new file 
for a new implementation also makes sense.

Code change looks fine, anyway. Standardising our code is great. I 
hope our test suite is good enough to rule out any edge case 
differences!

Great. I happened to notice some commented out parsers in 
Darcs.Repository.Inventory that we should probably just delete.

I'm a bit unclear on exactly what the parseStrictly/parse 
disctinction was achieving, but assuming we didn't need it this 
looks like a good simplification.

Fine

Yup. Our on-disk format is pretty much in terms of bytes, rather than
text/characters.

I did look at all the parsing primitives we export and compared them
with their attoparsec counterpart to make sure they are semantically
equivalent to what we had before. I am quite confident that there aren't
any edge-cases differences.

I had left them in there, back when I added this module, as some sort of
TODO comment. The low-level peeking and poking of the pristine hash we
do instead may be needed as an optimization, but is unsatisfying.
