Darcs is just different, also when this Git buzz started the Darcs people were wondering why they didn't just contribute to Darcs since their ideas are almost the same (except for some things like the merge algorithm)... they just realized that some people just don't program in Haskell :(

Git and Darcs have very different underlying models. Most importantly, Git is content-centric (diffs are generated only as byproducts) while Darcs is patch-centric (any given "version" is just a sum of all the patches that produce it). Linus, for one, feels strongly that this is an important distinction.
