I do a lot of my work in windows and this gave me some issue when I first started switching to darcs. Of course it was a problem with CVS as well. All my tools had to have exclusions for the .CVS or _darcs.

I think I read somewhere that it is recommended to only have _darcs
and subdirectories in the top-level directory.  Certainly this makes
it easier to pull different and unrelated things into a single repo.

This is exactly what I started doing. All my new stuff has a ./src/ or a ./doc/ or ./config/ and _darcs is only in the top level.

Since I have a lot of stuff in windows just changing from _darcs to .darcs* won't change anything. You would actually have to mark the directory as hidden. I don't see that as really worth the effort to try and maintain that across all platforms darcs supports.

I think a proper directory structure is a better answer. Perhaps it should be added to the "Best Practices" on the wiki.
