It may be that .DS_Store files got added to the pristine cache, in which
case your repository could be corrupted, and it'd be a good idea to try
running darcs check.  Programs that modify subdirectories without the
user's explicit consent are bad programs.  :( Eventually we hope to have a
pristine cache that *isn't* a directory full of files, but noone's
volunteered to work on this.
