Package: darcs
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: normal

  It appears that the tag given to 'darcs tag --checkpoint' is used in a
substring match, rather than used to match the exact tag name as the --help
text suggests:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian-pkgs/aptitude/head$ darcs optimize --checkpoint 
--tag=0.4.0
Checkpointing tag:
Wed Nov  9 08:54:31 PST 2005  Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  tagged 0.4.0-3

  This means that it is impossible to checkpoint a tag T if any other (more
recent?) tag contains T as a substring.  This could be fixed by either using
a regular expression to select the tag, or matching tags exactly.
