To be honest, I'm not sure I understand all the subtleties.  I only
have a rough idea what hidden and miserable conflicts are about, and
haven't yet decided if fighting conflicts are the same as miserable
ones.

Might be useful.  Probably worthwhile to start with causes of darcs
taking forever that are *not* conflict-related.  Also it may be worth
rewriting the ConflictsFAQ page to get rid of redundant information in
that case.
