Well, it's a bit simpler than that; darcs keeps all the repository stuff
in a subdirectory of your working directory (i.e. the actualy directory
tree where your project is located).  That subdirectory is _darcs

Right, once you have commited your changes (recorded them), you can
push them to the "master" repository whenever you like.

I think you will need to have shell access, unfortunately (darcs push
requires the ability to run darcs on the remote end, for example, via
ssh).  All you need on that end is darcs.

Hope this helps!  Please ask if you need more information or
clarifications...
