Getting source code

[Richard Giraud]

I figured out a way to work around it.

Instead of pulling all patches at once, I pulled 100 at a time.

Instead of using "darcs pull -a" in step 3, I used "darcs pull".  I held 
down "y" until about 100 or so patches were accepted and then hit "d" to 
stop applying patches.  After doing this 6 times, all patches were 
installed.

It would be nice to have the issue corrected, if possible, or have it 
documented on the developer page.  It would also be nice to have the 
case issue with Mac OS X document, as recent file systems have been 
case-insensitive for a while.

Should I add this info to the page?  I'm not sure what the policy is 
around wiki edits.
