I prefer making another patch and sending the two patches together, as
per the darcs manual
http://www.darcs.net/manual/node7.html#SECTION00791000000000000000
in case someone else has already applied the first patch, it makes darcs
work better. (the changelog-spamming effect is unfortunate, maybe there
should be some convention to distinguish how important a change is, like
wikipedia's minor edits? "MINOR: blah blah"... but I don't like that
judgement call. Does anyone mind the extra patch-count much?)
