You can get darcs at http://www.darcs.net/
Getting the CL-WIKI development(!) darcs repository:
darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-wiki/repos/cl-wiki_dev
If you want to update just enter the directory of your local darcs repository and
darcs pull
Please remember: This repository can contain broken code!
Being an occasional CVS user (and someone who didn't use darcs at all) for simple version cont. stuff I just wonder the reasons why darcs is getting popular especially among Lispers. Is simply that "darcs is better CVS" or some specific feature for management? Ease of use?

Nearly every VCS after CVS is better than CVS. Renaming files, directories, etc.
And darcs is easy to set up. You don't need a special kind of server software. So every webspace can become host for your repository.
darcs is ideal for OSS. You can get/pull a repository to your local machine and then you have a local repository. You can commit changes local, revert them again, work with it like with any other VCS. And at the end you generate a patch for the maintainer.
