To me, this is the same as making and distributing patches with
"diff" and "patch". Is it not?
No. The patches are still managed by darcs and they can be commuted
when applied to a repository. Suppose you have a developer who wants
to apply your patches to his repository but have made changes to it so
that it differs from the one you started out from. When he applies
your patches darcs will take care of the commutation and conflict
resolving for him instead of just getting an error from patch.
