You can always do a darcs get to copy your local repo (a recursive copy and then darcs obliterate would also work).

I haven't yet needed darcs send --offline, but it does sound like it would be nice if this could just work.

If you pull from multiple repos, would it store the context of each one ? When you push to a repo, do you also re-fetch 
its context ?

I suppose darcs send could also let you select arbitrary patches to send, without checking a context. Eg all matching a 
pattern, or all recorded since the last send to that repo.
