that's true, while the practice can be the opposite. darcs forces you to have an smtpd on localhost, while git allows you to send the patch from your mail client. this _is_ easier for people sometimes. (especially these days when everybody blocks dhcp address ranges and an avarage user doesn't configure a proxy smtpd on localhost usually i think.)
