[darcs-users] why does "darcs send" not do darcs's normal cherry-picking?

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

Folks:

The great thing about darcs is that cherry-picking is the native mode
of operation. There seems to be one place where it doesn't do that
though -- when you do a "darcs send" the patch that gets produced
appears to depend on all patches that were in the repo and not in the
target repo, instead of depending only on the subset that the patch
really depends on. This is causing a bit of trouble for Tahoe-LAFS
developers, and they were wondering aloud why it is like this:

I don't know, so I thought I would ask you.
