The advantage to the more manual approach is that you can track renames, 
but you can probably do that with darcs as well. From what I have heard, 
the main problem with darcs is that is uses lots of memory when 
operating on big trees, and that it is a bit slow due to having been 
written in Haskell. It does seem simpler to use than TLA/Arch however, 
but Bazaar tries to address that (though I don't think this is an issue 
once you get used to TLA.)
With the recently announced open source bk client I suppose one could 
create a script that would automatically track bk changes on a 
per-changeset basis, including renames.
