[darcs-users] version names

Hello, we have our code repository managed by darcs, and I'm looking  
for input on how to accomplish some version management the 'darcs way'.

The main file of interest is a which creates a database by way of SQL  
commands.  After that database is created, for production instances  
of the database, we'd like to have an intermediate file which can  
modify the database as it's running with more SQL commands.

As "incremental" file gets additional changes to apply to the  
production database, the main file as its kept in the repository will  
also get changed in the case that a production database needs to be  
made from scratch.

So we basically have a moving target of files, and I was wondering if  
darcs or darcs users have any methods for dealing with this.  At the  
very least, it'd be nice to get at the hash name for a particular  
patch so that we could at the very least "name" the incremental file  
after the hash name of the main file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
-lev
