It is a place where Darcs wins (by accepting to modify history). To be
more precise, in Darcs, one would:

  % darcs unrecord -m <change1>
  % darcs unrecord -m <change2>
  % darcs record -a -m <newchangedescription>

Unrecord removes a patch from the repository but does not touch the
working directory.

Of course, those operations can lead to dependency problems if new
changes have been committed since change1 and change2. But Darcs will
notice this and propose to unrecord those conflicting changes too, to
let you do new record operations (equivalent of checkin in the local
repository) regarding those changes.
