You currently can get that info from darcs, but its nowhere near readable. What I think we need in this case is a little front-end to present this stuff in a nice way. I'm inclined to say some innovative GUI work is needed to do this in a user friendly manner. > 2. A way to merge different patches into 1 patch.

Same here; I noted this feature earlier as a grouping of existing patches. Meaning a set of patches are grouped, but the individual patches still exist separately on disk sidestepping the problem you saw already. Anyway; this is a good feature request; could you check if its marked on the bugtracker as such? (follow darcs.net for the bugtracker) > 3.

Getting a unified diff can be done without darcs and just using diff (recursively). You will then have loads of problems with file renames and moves being shown as way too much text, though. Naturally a darcs diff -u --to-tag will do this best, and having all in one tree is also easiest. But your milage may differ. -- Thomas Zander
