Yes, that should be the right approach, although I'd do it the other
way around (pull the new repo into the old one). This way you get to
keep the ``vendor branch'' in case you want to merge more vendor
patches in the future.

Just in case, is b2 a patch against the original 3.5.1, or does it
contain or undo some of your local changes which were then committed
again? I'll assume the former; if the latter, let me know.

How large is patch d? You should have at least twice as much physical
memory; if you don't, you should split it into smaller patches, for
example one patch per subdirectory.
Let us know if that fixes your problem; if not, you'll need to do a
manual merge, or wait a few months for a faster version of Darcs.

Indeed. Could you please fix the wiki?
