[darcs-users] how to send a non-darcs user a set of context diffs from a local darcs tree?

Hi,

I happily used Darcs to track my patches to a software from the Internet.  The original author is not using Darcs. Now it's time for feedback.
My idea was that darcs can produce output that looks like annotated context
 or unified diffs which the original author would apply using patch.

	darcs changes -v
gives output close to that, but not good enough for the author to
 easily apply to his source tree.

I wanted to
 o use Darcs so I have a fine-grained log of my changes -- works great
 o tag the original imported software version -- done
 o be able to send these fine grained patches to the author

I wouldn't like to send just one big diff file which
	darcs diff -u --from-tag foo-1.2.3
generates.

I.e. ideally, I'm looking for something like
  ( for each recorded patch since author's tagged version
    do: produce unified diff including patch comment as header )
  > mypatches.diff

How can I achieve that?

Thanks for your help,
	Jörg Höhle.
