So, relating back to the original post, and extending on Linus'

I don't think it's like that. More like

 - BK showed it's done
 - Darcs picked some good bits from BK (while no other foss dscm did
until git/hg/bzr came along) but got distracted with interesting but
not-that-useful stuff - see patch algebra.
