#953: Checking out source from darcs is broken with (at least) master >= 0.7.12.

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 It seems that since 0.7.12 or so (I only tried 0.7.8, 0.7.12 and 0.8.1)
 the buildmaster, when using darcs for source control, sends a patch hash
 instead of a context file, when using the Darcs step to check out sources.
 This confuses the buildslave into passing the hash as if it was a context
 to darcs, which fails with "darcs: Bad context".

 This only happens in doVCSFull.

 I am attaching a non-backward-compatible fix for the buildslave (patch
 against 0.7.12). To do this in a backward-compatible fashion, one option
 would be to look at how the version ID looks at the buildslave and decide
 if it's a hash or a context. Another may be to find out what the master is
 using and decide based on that. However I don't know anything about python
 nor buildbot internals, so either may as well be beyond me.
