Probably not in order to get a repo that you then work on with darcs for a long time (and branch off of), but it is a simple way of getting copies of all the relevant pieces of something larger into a single place. Simple example: project foo defines some code for working on arbitrary functions of a certain kind. Using this code, a problem is found when applying this to a function defined in project bar. So just pull both foo and bar into the same place, play around with the combination of code that exhibits the problem, record the necessary changes (taking care that foo and bar changes remain separate). Push foo patches to foo, bar patches (if any) to bar. Get rid of the repo. If the foo project has everything except _darcs under foo/, and the bar project under bar/, there can be no conflicts in pulling both into the same repo.
