Great! I will add my darcs support as a plugin ASAP. :)

My standing wish for lunar is for a way to publish and subscribe to
"other" non-official moonbases (groups of modules), just the way you can
with Debian using /etc/apt/sources.list.

I have made a homegrown "solution" for that using zlocal/darcs, but even
though it works great and allows cherrypicking etc, it does force darcs
upon the users, so I don't expect it to ever become part of Lunar (even
though darcs totally blows every other SCM tool away IMHO).

To play with my solution (and to get a bunch of nice modules), check
