Just minor things:
- some chunks (repairing vgreduce return code etc) are now already upstream
- there is also trivial merge problem, I am sure darcs merge code handle it:-)

- please check and remove some trailing whitespaces

- consider using vg->vgmem instead of cmd->mem - VG is locked
for the whole operation and failed PV list make sense only for that VG

- please add -i parameter to lvconvert in test script - it waits too long in tests

- add man page entry ;-)

Otherwise
