So if I'm pulling from/pushing to a darcs-2-format repo, my local repo
must be darcs-2 as well?

To make this perfectly clear: this is the *conversion process* only,
you can still have multiple branches *after* all repos have been
synced to a single conversion. Right?)

Should something like this work?

    darcs convert main main-2
    cd branch
    mv _darcs old_darcs
    cp -a ../main-2/_darcs .
    darcs rec -am "amalgam of changes in 'branch'"

(But you'd lose your recorded history specific to the branch.)
