Ah, one other thing: one of the main advantages of a patches-only repo was that there's no 
need for darcs installed on the server, at least that's how I thought of the dumb 
mirroring script. But if the modification is to darcs apply I guess we still need darcs on 
the remote it just won't do as much.
 From my original mail :

"
If this worked there could be a darcs push variant which created such non-working-dir, 
repository-only repos without the need for server side darcs as applying would not be needed.
