Well I'll try it and report back.

Yes, I'd much rather you spend your hacking time hacking on Mnet than 
on darcs.  Since you are (as far as I know) the only person who hacks 
on Mnet and who doesn't have darcs running, then there shouldn't be any 
problems with cvs merge conflicts since you are the only cvs user (who 
has write access).

Why don't you just use CVS for now, and I'll make sure that darcs 
http://mnetproject.org/repos/mnet and cvs.sf.net stay synced, somehow 
or other...
