Darcs is good for personal use, but I moved away primarily because of the exponential merge problem. I think darcs2 takes care of it in most of the cases but NOT always. That is a big question mark for production repository. Darcs is easy to get started with though - to anybody interested I recommend this link - http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/darcs.html .

On the other hand if you want to move from darcs to git , use the following - https://github.com/purcell/darcs-to-git
