I meant to the ~/.darcs/sources but yes.  I was thinking maybe if you
had a small team with their home directories on the same NFS share, and
for some reason interacting with a remote repo, they might like to be
able to pool their patch files.  It's unlikely that this thought would
actually occur to any teams...

As far as I can tell.  The caching system identifies four kinds of
caches (could be worth putting in the high level doc):

 * thisrepo 
 * repo (some other repo)
 * cache
 * readonly

The --no-cache flag has the effect of hiding the latter two
cache types from darcs.
