Thanks for this! This actually seems more user oriented than
DarcsInternals (which is about providing high-level technical detail).
Well, actually, it's a bit fuzzy.  What's your intention here?

I haven't had a chance to study the technical side, but one bit of wording:

  The purpose of this text is help to recognize why the --bisect is not always
  good. It the most cases the standard linear trackdown serves better.

I'd suggest just saying that the text is to help you understand when to use
the standard trackdown and when to use bisect.

Hooray for documentation!

PS. I've mentioned this before, but there's also

    to consider
