Okay, the "mnet_new_mt" branch [1] wasn't supposed to get any patch  
which makes it incompatible with v0.6, but the main branch [2]  
certainly did.

You can see a list of the names of all patches that have been applied  
here by using these URLs: [3, 4].  Unfortunately this cgi script shows  
only the names of the patches, not the contents of the patches.  There  
is a new cgi script for darcs which shows nice patch contents, like  
this: [5, 6], but it isn't installed on mnetproject.org yet.  [Icepick:  
will you please install the new darcs cgi script?]

You can see the contents of patches using the darcs command-line tool.   
I don't have it installed on my laptop (it is downloading right now at  
38 Kbps), so I can't try this, but I think that darcs changes [7] will  
list the patches that are present in a source tree and darcs annotate  
[8] will show the contents of a specific patch.

Be sure to use the latest version for your platform: [9]
