The question is what context to use.  The extreme possibilities are
everything up to that patch, which is fine when you know what patches
are in the other clone (this seems to be what you had in mind), and a
minimal context of only the depended-upon patches, which is the closest
thing in the darcs world to "sending just a patch" (and has been on the
mailing list).  There is also the in-between possibility of "minimal,
assuming this tag".
