More specifically than that. This is the workflow I follow with darcs repos. Say, that I want to get the Foo repo:
mkdir ~/repos/Foo
cd ~/repos/Foo
darcs get HEAD feature-branch
Then I can send the patches from feature-branch to the official Foo repo at any time. I can also merge them back into HEAD doing a darcs pull from feature-branch to HEAD.
I think this is quite comparable to the git workflow.

How do you "see" how git branches are related to each other?
You can use gitk to see how the histories have interacted.
