This how I remember.

Hmm... in darcs 2.4 if I remember correctly darcs autoincluded patches that
were dependencies. So it asked about patch [1/2], then knew that [2/2] has
to be in because of dependencies and darcs did not ask about it.

The dependency was probably real in textual sense: spaces at the end of
lines or tab-to-spaces. The issues is that it was not shown.

I do not think so...
