interesting.  And in this proposal, I think the "lines" should be 
prefixed with + or - (add or remove).  It would be sweet if you could 
just delete the patch-lines you didn't want to record, although I'm 
worried that darcs might not be able to reconstruct which particular 
patch-lines you meant to keep (if there are duplicate lines).  Or the 
user could prefix "include" or perhaps "reject" lines with a * or 
something like that.  (Which interface is most efficient depends on the 
size of the hunks, the text-editor, etc.)

hmm...
