First, thanks for clarifying.

Second, I just realised that given I "export" all the patches based on
the darcs changes --xml output, in fact I never get multiple patches
exported, so the good soltuion for my problem was a simple:

darcs send -a -o foo.dpatch --matches='hash bar.gz' /path/to/other/repo

Thanks!
