I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are looking to do.
However, your comments bring to mind the 'darcs tag' command, which
creates a snapshot patch of the state of your repository.  You can
then pull that tag to bring your copy of the repository up to that
state.

  # release
  editor main_file
  darcs record main_file
  darcs tag v0.01

  # updates
  editor incremental_file
  darcs record incremental_file
  editor incremental_file
  darcs record incremental_file

  # move changes from incremental file into main_file
  # and release
  editor main_file incremental_file
  darcs record main_file incremental_file
  darcs tag v0.02
