[Do note that there are many offers <= 20 US $/month for a dedicated
Unix box. So, it is a possible solution, allowing you to have a
reference repository always online and reachable. The main issue is
that you have to spend some time managing it.]

The way I do it is with a shell function:

darcsdiff () {
        file=`mktemp` 
        darcs changes --to-patch "$1" --context > ${file}
        darcs send --all --context ${file} .
        rm ${file}
}

And I run it this way at the end of the day:

darcsdiff "ID of the patch BEFORE the first patch I want"
