Oops.  I'd meant to announce the updated version here, but it doesn't
look as if I did.

The second is nothing to do with me and looks like a proper subset fork.

It should just work with recent Emacsen (to the extent that Emacs VC
will support darcs-like systems, even now, sigh).  It may work as far
back as Emacs 21 (but I don't have darcs on RHEL5), and probably with
fairly old darcsen as well as the current release.  It's painful to keep
up with all the Emacs incompatibilities and changes in darcs which break
things like this, though.

I use it (and darcsum.el) for development work, and if it has problems
that aren't due to Emacs I can probably fix them swiftly (but mail me,
since there aren't alerts for issues on the hub).  It's unfortunate I
couldn't get it into Emacs, which was what it was written for, or darcs
contrib.

I'd forgotten about the mention on the darcs wiki.  I'll see if I can
still edit that.
