I would like if we could name sets of patches in a repository , and we could choose to work only on one of the sets (and its dependencies, of course).
Perhaps the darcs pull --union, --intersect and --complement features could do what you're looking for.
As I interpreted the message, he's talking about branches in one repo (with possibly a relation to something like 'git stash').
Branches in one repo are another way to solve what I think is inconvenient in darcs, which is, there's no way to say 'darcs pull --give_me_all_development_lines'. Since development lines are delegated to file system directories, we need some way outside darcs to get a directory list. (I'm not familiar with git, but mercurial branches do solve that.)
Mauricio, do I paraphrase you correctly if I say that you want to be able to have the working copy reflect only a subset of all the patches present in the repository?
Yes, you do. I would like those subsets to have names, and be able to do set operations with them. This seems to me a lot better than the usual branches in one repo approach, as darcs could use its own inteligence to separate independent or conflicting development lines.
