If you are saying that you want file based instead of patch based rollback 
option; then that really does not fit in darcs, don't you think?  Most of 
the time things will break compiling if you rollback only part of the 
patch. They are patchsets for a reason; you know ;)
You should take a look at the option to record less changes per patch if you 
feel you need to split patches up.

If you take that into account both rollback and unpull will suffice for the 
situations you showed.   Won't they?
If not; please show a real life situation where you just can't do without 
this feature.  I'm not really sold on a 'Wouldn't it be nice" kind of 
arguments..
