Nice to hear you are considering to move to darcs.
Basically I'm very happy with the working model of CVS, and subversion
darcs would allow you to locally record intermediate stages of a change, making it easier to revert to the last good state if you screw up or decide something would be better done a different way. You can also unrecord one of the previous intermediate local commits you have made to fix a bug or do it in a better way. Then, when you have finished the changes and are happy with it all, you can either send of the set of smaller changes (which might make the history more understandable) or unrecord them all and rerecord the whole thing (so it looks to the outside world like you just did it all at once, as is the current case). You can also more easily send only some of the changes you have made to the main repo if you also have some unfinished stuff you are working on. You can also do all this while on a plane, without bandwidth at a conference, or whatever. Thanks Ian
