Darcs makes it easy to add new patches to a repo, but hard to remove
them (i.e. you can't propagate unpulls). By having your production
repo offline, you are free to take as much time as necessary to mess
about with unpulling, and then when you are satisfied you can release
all the changes (which may be in either direction) with a single rsync
command.
