Darcs keeps everything in one tidy "_darcs" directory at the top level.
I appreciate that there aren't extra meta-data directories throughout
the tree.

You can browse a "_darcs" directory of a small project here to obverse
the structure:

http://mark.stosberg.com/darcs_hive/cgi-app/_darcs/

Darcs does ship with a web-based repo browser that provides a much nicer
UI for web browsing than the above, which hides storage implementation:

This tool is written in Perl rather than Haskell. :)
