I don't understand? Simon's report starts with 'More darcs2 woe',
darcs2 came out in 2008, issue494 claims to have been resolved
by a patch in August 2007. How can a patch from a year ago
solve an issue in a version of darcs that should already include
that patch in the first place?

I must have missed that info.

He says it is an old repository that he's pulling into, hence
lots of patches to pull. But the list of patches doesn't include
the renaming that is reported the wrong way round in whatsnew,
so it might be that pending was screwed up while he was using
an earlier darcs version.

All ghc repos are old, though, and have been handled
by some version of darcs 1 at some point or other,
including the repos involved in issue1034. And since
darcs does not preserve information about screwups
(issue1010), and users don't ask whatsnew in repos
they don't work in, there is no telling whether the issues
are old or new.
