I doubt it's inherent.[1]  But performance-wise it's probably going to
kill you because of the combinatorics of context computation.


Footnotes: 
[1]  For example, you could represent a patch as Darcs understands it
as a set of git-style SHA1 pairs.  Each SHA1 pair represents the
before and after trees, and the contexts where "the patch" may be
applied correspond to all "before" SHA1s that are in some one of these
pairs.  Sort the (finite :-) set in numerical order of "before" SHA1s,
and Gödelize.  Now, sign the Gödel number.  For some value of "now"
involving fire turning to ice. :-)
