I'm glad to hear about darcs-3. I was worried work on implementing
Camp had stopped completely.

Is testing helpful at this point? I could try cloning and converting
my repos to darcs-3.

Unsurprisingly, I'm learning about all sorts of interesting pitfalls
while trying to make it concrete.

I still might manage to make something worth sharing, though.
