Great =)
I've set up a small website for darcsweb at
http://users.auriga.wearlab.de/~alb/darcsweb/ and I'm thinking about
adding a list of links to darcsweb sites; I know there aren't many, but at
least a couple so people can check it out without installing it. Can I
link that site?

I thought of that, and I think it'd be nice, but honestly I don't know how
to do that inside darcs (without making _ugly_ stuff with patches by
hand). Is it even possible? Maybe with some option to annotate?

Well, the first item is completely debatable (I like diff output _so_ much
more =) but I could make this configurable.

Do you want a "raw" version of the patch, or an htmlized one?

Does anyone else have any preference on this?

Thanks,
