I believe darcs does not even have a linear history. It has just a bunch
of named, partialy ordered, patches. The synchronization simply means
"get the patches that I don't have yet". Then darcs looks at the
ordering, sorts the patches and rebuilds the working copy. Additional
ordering can be specified as means of tagging releases.
