what about `darcs send --dry-run`?  It's not perfect, but I 
use it in my old repos in conjunction with `darcs wh [-l]` 
to find out what of value I'd lose by deleting an old 
checkout.  (e.g., patches merged into HEAD aren't of value. 
  But they still aren't of value even if they've been 
amend-recorded, rewritten, or equivalent by simon/ian/etc., 
but Darcs can't tell this, unfortunately.)
