Yes.  Symmetry is essential: if you have a get, you need a put.  Moreover,
what alternative do you imagine when you cannot do darcs get, for instance
if you create the repository on your laptop and want to put it to your
public server?  Doing darcs init remotely then darcs push?  I know this is
the git-way, but I find it extremely counterintuitive and can't help
swearing each time I have to use it.

Best,
