I was surprised to find that Darcs "escapes" an attempt to trick it into
making a tag:
$ touch x
$ darcs rec x -lam 'TAG delete-me'
Recording changes in "x":
Finished recording patch '.TAG delete-me'
Unfortunately, that leading dot stays around forever -- nothing ever
unescapes it.
Stuff like this, or those Ignore-This lines in the patch description,
really grate. I hope that Darcs 3 will have a new patch file format
that can express such things without kludgily grafting them onto the
patch name/description...
