If we include it, I'm strongly against using the convert subcommand for

be made even more byzantine: darcs convert works in place, while
darcs-fastconvert deals with import/export streams, darcs convert needs
to be done once centrally, a constraint we may or may not have with
darcs-fastconvert.

We ought to aim to relax these restrictions somewhat and make darcs convert more user friendly. I don't think it's actually necessary to do the convert once centrally, so long as each patch is only converted once. Ultimately I think I'd like to see both darcs convert and darcs-fastconvert behave as bridges.
