Imagine that I have patches A and B. B depends on A. I discover that A's patch name and long comment have a major typo. Unfortunately, "darcs amend-record --edit-long-comment -p A" won't work. B's dependency prevents A from being commuted to the front even though changing A's metadata won't affect B at all.
I want an option letting me change A's metadata regardless of the dependencies. Would such an option be useful to others? What should it be called? darcs amend-record --none --edit-long-comment darcs amend-record --metadata-only --edit-long-comment I'm partial to --none since it's the opposite of --all. Ideally, amend-record would prompt for changes before prompting for which patch to amend. That way, if the user selects no changes Darcs can skip dependency analysis when presenting patches. Would changing the prompt order harm your favorite use cases? -- Michael
