darcs get has a --partial flag:
--partial get partial repository using checkpoint
You can create a check point with the 'darcs tag --checkpoint' (and
possibly also 'darcs optimize --checkpoint')
--checkpoint The --checkpoint option allows the tag be used later
with the --partial flag to get or check. A partial
repository only contains patches from after the
checkpoint. A partial repository works just like a
normal repository, but any command that needs to
look at the contents of a missing patch will
complain and abort.
If you do a 'darcs get --partial', you can still record (aka, commit)
new patches without downloading the full history.
Obviously, there is a lot more that could be done to automate it --
but it is a neat start.
