As an anxious user who just wants his darcs to work right, I am
heartened by all the recent interest in patch theory.  I confess I
haven't really read your post, but I can point out two things which
might be of interest to you:

1) Ian has posted a very nice write-up on patch theory and where we
   are with handling conflicts:
     http://urchin.earth.li/~ian/conflictors/
   Perhaps it is worth comparing notes

2) We have an entire mailing list dedicated to discussing theory and
   conflicts:
     http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-conflicts
   
   It's probably worth posting there instead.  The list might be useful
   for its archives, and also for the people (namely other
   mathematicians) that paying much closer attention to that list than
   this one.

Thanks much.  Hope you stick around,
