[darcs-users] Replace a patch to repair a repo

Hi,

I'm using darcs for a php- project (how uncommon ;-) ).

Anyway, i also used ctags and did the mistake to include my ctag-file which is 
not a binary, so darcs did a record on that file and i didn't cared cos at 
this point there weren't any problems.

That's what the summary says:
    M ./doc/ctags -1271 +40610

Now i tried to do a check/repair/pull - however it seems like the patch is 
just to big and darcs needs ages(i tried at least a day on a 6000 bogomips 
machine) to patch it.

I think a replace could work but i need to get the other changes of that file 
first. Is there a easy way to just edit the current darcs patch and remove 
all changes concerning the ctags file?
What happens with the other patches who depend on my ctags? I suppose they'll 
just end with conflicts i've to solve manually.

So far, thanks a lot for your help!

cheers Alex
