The problem is certainly that vc is files oriented whereas darcs
is patch(set) oriented. Thus, vc is not the tool I would
recommend even if I love vc modes.

I am using darcsum for 2 days now and even with his current
limitations, darcsum suits best with darcs that the other modes I
tested.

Hope that's help.
