One of the reasons I like darcs is that a "server repository" only has 
to be a visible directory tree, without needing any executable code on 
the server. But darcs itself won't push files to such a plain repo, 
which is why I use rsync:

I also wish darcs had the option to "push" new patches to a plain file 
repository, using scp/rsync/sftp.
