darcs is just about perfect except for one thing, not having a straightforward

but I think I have a very lightweight proposal to mitigate this problem.

While I agree that some sort of support for multiple projects would be
very useful, this implementation has already been proposed, discussed,
and another one chosen. No-one ever wrote the code though:

John,

I'm not understanding your proposal yet, and I won't have much time to try. But could you explain whether your proposal conflicts with the one Jamie is referring to? And if it doesn't conflict, how much more difficult would it make the user's understanding of darcs if both were implemented?

The reason I ask, is because simplicity is a major goal for darcs, and David's proposal in the thread Jamie mentions seems like a good one to me. Ultimately someone might get around to it.

(I know you know, but for any others who spent time searching: the post where David makes his proposal is

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/3464

It's the part about adding new patch types "addsubrepo" etc., near the end.)

Groetjes,
