I'll just take this opportunity to trot out
  http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/DarcsInternals
and specifically
  http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-devel/2007-November/006441.html
(which may itself be inaccurate)

I am really heartened to see the progress we're making spreading the
understanding of darcs internals!  Honest mistakes are really good for
us; they give us a chance to spread knowledge in delicate places :-D
