Hmmm...

One is to provide a history of previous versions. The other is to keep track of changes that are made to the repository, and to allow these changes to be merged and moved from one repository to another. These two uses are distinct, and almost orthogonal, in the sense that a tool can support one of the two uses optimally while providing no support for the other. Darcs is not intended to maintain a history of versions, although it is possible to kludge together such a revision history... I admit to being biased in favor of history over transformation. Part of that is being burned by trying to use CVS for concurrent development on separate branches. I also like the centralized nature of CVS and SVN, especially at work.

I complained that local access to a CVS repository wasn't supported in eclipse, and was (rather rudely, I thought) dismissed with "we don't do it that way".
