What does the database look like? I don't like things I can't patch up with Emacs, or process with other standard text tools, if I get desperate.

All of the Darcs data is stored in a _darcs subdirectory of your project. The revisions are stored as a subdirectory full of gzipped patch files. The rest of the data (lists of changelog comments, preferences, etcetera) are stored in plain text files.
