Hi David,

first of all, thanks for implementing 'darcs diff'. Have you considered the 
possibility of prepending a header to the generated patch explaining what 
changes it is supposed to make (listing the patch names?), who wrote them and 
their comments (something resembling a changelog?). In other words, a 
natural-language resembling presentation of the information contained in the 
darcs-patch headers.

(examples: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104926882224687&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105473425703109&w=2)

Also, adding -N to the default diff flags seems like a good idea.

Aggelos
