The output of darcs send should always work fine with the target repo

I guess the problem is that people are trying to use it with other
repositories that are missing patches that are in the target repo.
That's not what's happening.
We have a canonical central trunk repository --
http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk .
Then developer A has their local repo which has all of trunk, plus
patches 1, 2, 3. Developer A runs "darcs send", selecting patch 3 to
send. Darcs does not insist on sending patches 1 or 2 since they are
independent of 3. Then Developer B tries to "darcs apply" the
resulting file, to their copy of trunk, and they get an error message
saying that the patch 3 can't be applied since they lack patches 1 and
2.
If that's happening then it's a bug. Please file a ticket with a
testcase.
FWIW, I use the workflow described all the time with darcs itself
I've never had a problem.
