Having re-read the "current status of darcs" thread, it seems that this
would be a bad idea, at this time. There's no way to guarantee that a
change in repo A isn't going to be committed which conflicts which a
patch you've already committed to repo B - and in that situation, you'd
have to scrap repo B to avoid a conflict patch which might trigger
the/a conflict bug. Well, it'd be risky to continue, anyway. That's
annoying.
