Thanks for contribution! I guess one of the reasons of lacking support 
is covered in wiki note http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/MachineReadableFormats

Quick issue within plugin Sax parser:
https://github.com/Weltraumschaf/hudson-darcs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/darcs/DarcsSaxHandler.java
It doesn't parse the "move" tag from the summary section. It is rename 
and/or move of file:
<move from="src/Darcs/Test/Patch.hs" to="src/Darcs/Test/Patch/Examples.hs"/>

I wrote here instead on Github issues  because I'm also interested in 
correct parser for the Darcs produced XML.

@Darcs Developers: Is there any spec/schema for the XMLs produced by 
Darcs? e.g. XSD or DTD
If not maybe good chance for me to write one...
