I've done this, when I wanted to take a bunch of 3rd party libraries
and add them into my darcs repo in source form.  This is nice for
two reasons, (a) using darcs to track which versions of which
libraries go with which versions of my project, (b) I ended up
having to patch several of them.

Since some of them had conflicts in the root dir, I had to
re-darcsify all of them under unique subdirectory names, which meant
throwing out history in some of them.

Since then, I've adopted a policy of making all my darcs repos have
a hopefully-unique top-level subdir name, in order to ease possible
future integration.

I'm not sure how common this would be, or whether it is a good idea.
