Another possible solution would be to upgrade the darcs installation.
(While I don't have the administrative privileges to do this, I can
bug the administrators about it.)

My question is (so that I can feel justified recommending upgrading to
darcs 2), is darcs 2 completely compatible with darcs 1? If there are
users on the server that still use darcs 1 and darcs 1 style
repositories, would they notice any difference if the version
installed suddenly changed to version 2?

Thanks again.
