Getting a lazy partial repository over http isn't particularly quick:

   $ time darcs2 get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-darcs2 --darcs-2
   Finished getting.
   495.19s real   2.08s user   1.12s system   0% darcs2 get 
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-darcs2 --darcs-2

Compared to a --partial get of the GHC repository:

   $ time darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
   Copying patch 179 of 179... done.
   Applying patch 178 of 178... done.
   Finished getting.
   181.93s real   9.43s user   1.42s system   5% darcs get --partial 
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc

Cheers,
