Tailor should be able to handle the simplest scenario, a one way
conversion between your working repos (in darcs-2 format) to your
public (darcs-1 format) one, but that's just moving the problem
elsewhere: what about new patches sent against the public repo? I
never tried myself, but I wonder if a dual way could work between
darcs and darcs...
