Ho to work on devlab and send to repo

Ok, I always had this problem of working on devlab and wanting to send patches to george. Unless he goes around hunting missing patches he could get errors like this
    Cannot apply this patch bundle, since we're missing: 
    * foo bar patch
    
The solution is to bundle any needed patch when you do a send. If you have an internet connection you can do
    
    me@/devlab$ darcs send http://repo.nitroproject.org -o bundle.patch
    
    
(possibly you could do the same with a local copy of the repository)

Warning: this would make your repository work with repo in the future, so you may wish to use a line like this:

    darcs send --no-set-default http://repo.nitroproject.org -o foo.patch
    

See also the entry on making patches to nitro at Oxy (which I hope could get updated with this :).
