It has a number of minor design issues (such as whether to allow
absolute symlinks and symlinks pointing outside the Darcs tree in a
darcs repo, and how to deal with challenged filesystems), but mostly
we just haven't done it. There's no fundamental objections to
implementing them.
Please feel free to file a feature request on bugs at .

No, subversion's design is very different from Darcs'. There's very
little we can learn from them and apply directly to Darcs.
