Just like darcs pull, darcs send needs to know what patches are in the
remote repository so that it knows which patches that aren't in the
other repository.

To do a darcs send offline without access to the other repository
you'll need a context file.  You just need to remember to generate one
before you go offline.  Here's a FAQ on how this works:
