Thanks. The reason why I was asking about plain copy is because I might 
want to put a branch on a server that doesn't have Darcs installed. I 
guess that would work alright as long as I'm the only developer...

Oh, good, thanks. How do I save it to a file? I guess I could look for 
the patch in foo/_darcs/patches. Is that the best way? I hope that's not 
an RTFM question, I did look at the FM :)

Cheers,
Daniel.
