My main concern about this idea (which I think came up once before) is that
it might add too much complexity to the interface, leading people to make
mistakes. If done right, though, it definitely would be convenient.
It's also a bit of a pain to implement, since we'd need to store four
states for each patch. Perhaps we should introduce an N-state version of
PatchCoices, replacing our current three-state code? (This last being
directed at my fellow darcs developers, not the bug reporter.)
