I attached it to an e-mail dated 2008-01-03 within this thread.

One way to use it is:

  darcs changes --xml -s --reverse --repodir /path/to/source/repo | xsltproc changes2ordered_repo.xsl - > ordered_repo.sh

Right now it will create a new darcs repo with all patches reordered
into chronological order.  It does this by reading the patch files
from the source repo and assembling patch bundles, which are applied
to the target repo.

To be used by tailor, it should probably read one patch at a time
(rather than the 100 it is currently set to).  Right after each 'darcs
apply' some tailor command could be run.

Let me know if you are not able to find the changes2ordered_repo.xsl
attachment and I'll send it to you off list.
