I used Darcs a long time ago and what I remember was that because it reordered patches, it was actually quite difficult to do a bisect to find a patch that broke a build. Unlike git where you can completely characterize a build with the HEAD sha, darcs didn’t really have that concept and it was very tricky to figure out what actually went into a particular build.

It didn’t really seem to me at the time like this was an appropriate VCS for a team of developers using CI.

Maybe they’ve fixed this since then. I haven’t looked at darcs in AGES.
