The 3rd problem is from what I understand directly related to how darcs and svn work. Darcs is patch based without a strict versioning number. If a patch depends on another, so be it. If not, then you can skip it. SVN has a strict version numbering, so to translate it to patches: Every patch depends on all other patches that were committed before it. Matter of taste in my opinion, what is better :) Hi :)
