[darcs-users] How to record only patches, not original files

How can I create a repo in which only changes are recorded?  So,  
suppose I have a large set of files which I want to change, but I  
don't want that large set of files in my repo because I don't want  
other users of the repo to be able to copy those files.  I DO want  
the other users of the repo to be able to obtain my CHANGES to those  
files.  In other words, I want a repo of patches, but without the  
(original) files being patched.

I figured that I might be able to achieve this with --no-pristine- 
tree and --partial, or maybe --relink --sibling, but I'm not quite  
sure how.  I would greatly appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Has anyone done this before?
