I think what Juliusz suggested would work, wouldn't it?

You have a master repos A, which contains all the patches and is not
available online. In A you run

   darcs optimize --checkpoint

and then you create a a partial copy B via

   darcs get --partial /path/to/A

Then you publish B online. Whenever a user gets B, he will only
download a the partial copy, but patches he submits can be applied
to A just fine.

Or did I miss something?
