How would I (again: non-interactively) check if that pulling created
conflicts?  Parse `darcs pull's output?  Ugly.  Record the changes as
they are, run `darcs revert -a', then `darcs resolve', followed by `darcs
whatsnew F' afterwards and parse its output?  Ugly.  Or for the last
`darcs whatsnew F' step, rather rely on the fact that it will return an
exit value of `1' if there are no changes and `0' if there are changes
(i.e. conflicts)?  Ugly.


Am I the first one to try to use darcs non-interactively?
