Erik, Darcs is so slow, buggy and broken by design (I speak for direct experience) that even the GHC team decided to switch to GIT or Mercurial, see [1] and [2]. Consider this: three years ago I decided to study a functional language and I had to decide between OCaml and Haskell. In that period, for other reasons, I was searching for a new SCM to replace CVS and I extensively tested Darcs. Darcs was so broken that I decided for OCaml when I realized it was written in Haskell. So Darcs, IMHO, is definitively not "anything significant". [1] http://www.reddit.com/comments/6v2nl/ghc_project_switches_to_git/ [2] https://lopsa.org/node/1656 -- Ing.
