Yes. A darcs merge typically either terminates in seconds, or never
terminates.

Sorry, you're in trouble. The only solution is to do a manual merge.
Go to the source repository, do
darcs diff -u --patch='the patch I cannot merge' > silly.patch
and then in the target repository, do
patch -p1 < .../silly.patch
check all rejects, and then do a record.

by that patch, unfortunately. I've been thinking about better
workarounds, but they're tricky.
