I've run into the same issue with a very small repository that I work
with and I believe it's the issue where conflicts can cause darcs to
spin for what seems like forever [1], though I haven't done an extensive
analysis to see if that is certainly the problem.

Is anybody working on this issue? Does it seem like it'll be difficult
to fix?
