Today I tried to use "darcs show file -p 1234", but the result wasn't what I
expected.  What I wanted was to see a list of all the files changed by a set
of patches that all matched the same ticket number.

What I think I got instead was a list of all the files that were in the repo
when those patches were added. On reflection, perhaps that's consistent
with how "darcs show files" work, and what I really want is this:

 # Show the list of unique files touched a ticket number (expressed through -p 
REGEX)
 darcs changes --files -p 1234

Here's my use case: I'm doing a peer review of a set patches that relate to a
certain ticket number. I want to make sure that I review each changed file,
so I would use this report as a checklist.

In the past I've accomplished this by using "darcs changes --summary" and then
munging the results to a get unique list of files.

Does anyone else share my interest in this feature?
