The darcs "Issue467: darcs changes --context interferes with --repodir"
 (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue467) causes this failure:
 {{{
 $ perl darcs-all changes --context
 == running darcs changes --context

 Context:

 [FIX #1177, partially at least.

 == running darcs changes --context --repodir nofib

 darcs failed:  Not a repository: nofib (nofib/_darcs/inventory:
 openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory))
 darcs failed: 512 at darcs-all line 57.
 }}}
 David Roundy found that "When given an absolute path, --context and
 --repodir work together fine."

 Here is a patch to darcs-all that uses this work around to repair {{{perl
 darcs-all changes --context}}}.
