Spontaneous branches are one of my favorite Darcs features: flyweight branching, if you will. Of
course, Darcs also supports heavyweight branching by creating a new repository with "darcs

(as issue555 calls them). This has been a request since 2007.
I'm glad to see this as an external script and still see it as a great
plugin opportunity to keep in-repo branching out of darcs core.
3. branch addressing is one issue we haven't really thought about. You know
Git, somebody could maybe go research Hg and Bzr and see how they do it.
I still think the best way for branch addressing would be to address
inventory/context files directly rather than add a new syntax for it.
If it still seems necessary to add a syntax for branching, or to have a
shortcut syntax for inventory/context address patterns, I'd throw my 2
cents towards using the existing URI Fragment indicator (#), instead of
some other ad hoc punctuation:
http://your-host.example/repo/#branch
[email protected]:repo/#branch
