Ian Lynagh is behind camp (and as I understand it, Florent Becker is
making some interesting contributions as well).  It is our hope that
camp will become the basis of darcs 3.  What exactly this will look like
and how we will get there (slowly) will be discussed during the upcoming
darcs hacking sprint (17-19 April).

Unfortunately, David is no longer working in the darcs project, or on
camp.  He has agreed that the "named primitive patch" idea proposed by
Ian is the way to go forward, however.

I think this might help:
  http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/NamedPatch

The assumed unique ID of a patch is the tuple of its short name, date,
author and log, which are represented by the patch hash.  The patch
hash should always stay the same, but it should not be confused with
the file content hash, which changes according to the patch
representation.
