I think I should file a bug/wishlist for dbp ;-)

I found another solution, maybe simpler (s-xml.tar.gz is the CVS
downloaded via ViewCVS):
=====
luca at gismo:~/Downloads$ tar zxvf s-xml.tar.gz 
<cut>

luca at gismo:~/Downloads$ cp -rp \
 /home/luca/Hacking/cl-debian/repository/s-xml-upstream/doc/ s-xml/

luca at gismo:~/Downloads$ dbp-importorig s-xml/ s-xml 1:20051107
 TLACMD:  darcs
tar: ./src: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00
tar: ./test: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00
LOGTEXT Imported s-xml
into Darcs repository



Finished recording patch 'Import upstream s-xml version 1:20051107'
Finished tagging patch 'TAG UPSTREAM_s-xml_1:20051107'

luca at gismo:~/Downloads$ 
=====

This seems to working quite well and you don't need to play with
`darcs mv` or `darcs record` :-D

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
