Thanks. That's interesting.

This is basically the source of the mess in git, also. In the whole blah

can understand how presenting that work as a set of patches makes sense. 
You'd wind up with a repository that changes A into B twice and B into A 
once without any particular ordering between them, so I'm lost as to how 
Darcs would handle that.
