I'm reading the Darcs 2 manual, and I've just seen that

I hereby object.  Lazy patch downloading is a stupid idea, it
completely breaks Darcs' largest advantage -- easy disconnected
operation.  Lazy should not be the default, it ought to need to be
explicitly enabled by users who want the flexibility of CVS combined
with the speed of Monotone.

Fortunately, lazy is not the default, so this is a bug in the manual.
