That's not what I see:

% darcs trackdown -v 'grep -i atom Site.tmpl'  
Tracking down command:
grep -i atom Site.tmpl
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom syndication feed - summaries" href="feed.atom" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom syndication feed - full content" href="feed-full.atom" />
Success!

% darcs --version
1.0.9rc1 (release candidate 1)

It yields the same result.

If I have proper comments, I can use 'cvs log' or 'svn log' or 'darcs
changes'. My concern was for the cases where the comment is
insufficient (a very common case).
