I tried (b) but I get a similar looking error about Makefile:

$ darcs send -O ../new8

Shall I send this patch? (1/117)  [ynWsfvplxdaqjk], or ? for help: a

darcs failed:  Error renaming: destination AnchoredPath [Name "Makefile"] 
exists.

The best I've managed so far is to pull into a new repo from the old one, 
and choose to not pull one of the two patches you mentioned. Dropping 
either then drops a futher ~10 patches that depend, but that is probably 
small enough for me to deal with by hand.
