Does darcs work more or less like CVS, considering not locking files?
Then most things should be simple to implement.  Copy the VersContCvs.py
file to VersContDarcs.py and start making changes.  There are only a few
CVS-specific hacks in there (esp. to get a list of files that are in the
repository, so that files no longer used can be deleted, and recognizing
errors).  VersCont.py has only two calls to CVS functions, that's easy
to change.

If darcs does do locking, it might be a bit more complicated.
