This bug seems to be about using numbers that go all the back in the patch history. I agree with rejecting that change. It would give the impression that darcs history is static and that patches can have fixed numerical identifiers. That does really model reality, and I think could create a mess. > I don't think very many people use the new --number, --index, --range > features. They were also introduced fairly recently.

Perhaps they are OK, and it is the documentation that needs to be updated. At this point, I feel like I'm still learning about them and am offering comments more in the spirit of constructive feedback than a request for change. Thanks for response! Darcs continues to be a tool I enjoy to use everyday. I don't think my team realizing how much more overhead we could have if we used another source control tool.
