Right. The repository has to be accessible at "send" time so that darcs can 
access its inventory and decide which patches to push. One way around this 
would be to keep a local repo that is identical to the one you want to push 
to, but then you have to remember to synchronise it when you get online, 
which is precisely what you want to avoid. So I guess you'll need to run a 
script at "link up" time instead.
