Yes, generate the context-file BEFORE recording anything.

Something like this:
Grab your repo from computer A,
Move it to computer B.
Run "darcs changes --context > $file"
hack away, record...etc...
run "darcs send -a --context $file -o $outfile

Then move $outfile on your usb-thingy and run "darcs apply $outfile"

So, each hacking session starts with a context extraction.
I THINK that should work.
