I think 'darcs annotate path/to/a/directory/ ' is the closes you
can get. It takes a --patch or --tag option, and will show what
files where present in the directory at the given tag (or patch
in inventory order), what patch put the file in the directory,
the file's original name, and if it was modified by the patch or
not (in case of --patch).

The output format is probably more suitable for analyzing the
effects of patches, but it might be possible to parse it and
produce a plain list of file names.
