Pulling a patch *without* its dependences?

Hello,

I'm trying darcs to see if it'll help me maintain a private
fork of a
public Subversion repository (for backporting bugfixes and
select
enhancements). I'm using Tailor to mirror the svn repos into
a darcs
repos called "master"; and I have a separate darcs
repos called "fork"
which will hold my changes.

Now I only want to pull certain patches from the master
repos, but
some of these have dependencies that I don't want.  For
example,
pulling r5302 wants to pull r5232, but I don't want the
changes from
r5232.  Is there some way I can find out which parts of
r5302 are
causing the dependency, so that I can create a new patch to
support
r5302 without needing the full r5232 patch?

Cheers,

Andrew

earlier i created this very ugly wrapper to work around this
problem. i
think it still works. i wish others will show you a more
proper way
