It also seems to make finding buggy patches rather hard.

Have a look at `git bisect`.

I'm aware of git bisect. It doesn't do what I want. I usually have a
pretty good idea of which patch(es) might have caused a problem and I
want to unpull it and its dependencies. This is easy in darcs; I have
no idea how to do that in git.

We can't even do this reliably with darcs. Several times I've tried to unpull one of Simon's patches to work around a bug, and the dependencies end up being more than just the textual dependencies. Then I have to fall back to unpulling by date, which is what git would do. And then sometimes there's the separate problem that you have to retreat the library repos too, and there you have to unpull by date and some guesswork too.

Cheers,
        Simon
