I agree that the first thing to do would be to make it work file by file 
over HTTP PUT, FTP PUT, and SFTP PUT.

However, the next thing to do is make it so that darcs *get* reads 
compressed bundles and not just reads individual files. Then darcs *put* 
could start writing compressed bundles.

Maybe darcs *get* already does read compressed bundles. Does it? I think 
making it do that was planned Future Work.
