Darcs plugin fails to get revision state for repository

[gdetrez]

I cannot get polling to work properly with the darcs plugin. It seems that the plugins fails to parse the change log and defaults to "Changes found" all the time (which kinda defeats the idea of polling 😄)

I have tried parsing this particular change log and I encountered 2 problems:

• the log is pretty big
• there is a mixture of latin-1 and utf-8 characters in the commit messages

Maybe something similar is happening here. I uploaded the full log here if you want to take a look.

Here is what I see in the polling log:
