Ah, thanks!  Maybe we can do better by having darcs use wget in
noclobber mode.  (But I'd still need to be able to fool darcs into
using the existing partial repo.)

In the end, I guess the thing to do is what Tommy suggested,
coordinate on using rsync or some other restartable method while he
promises not to commit in the middle of a rysnc. :-)

Thanks again,
