Although the problems with pending and unrecorded changes is
fixed, there are unfortunately a few regressions in 1.0.10pre,
and I'm having a really hard time finding time for darcs right
now. I'll make a new try this weekend, and maybe I'll get
together a 1.0.10rc1 for testing. I will probably have to just
backport a bunch of changes from darcs-unstable, and that will
likely risk it being complexly impossible to merge stable1 and
darcs2 after that.
