Hi,

1) create a temporary branch with: darcs get --to-patch "^\[project
   @ 126\]$"

2) create the (first) tag in this temporary branch with: darcs tag
   version-1-10.1

3) push the (first) tag to the "master" repo with: darcs push

4) either use 'darcs pull' to pull patches from the master repo up
   to the next version, or remove the temporary branch and redo
   step 1 with another --to-patch regexp.

5) repeat from step 2


Please ask again if this is to terse or unclear.
