I have added a new UI feature to darcs that will be part of the upcomming 2.1.2 release. It allows you to list all your changes you acknowledged so far while interactively selecting changes.
So a typical session might look like this:
$ darcs record
hunk ./src/Darcs/Arguments.lhs 200
+getContent (SSHRemoteCommand s) = StringContent s
Shall I record this change? (1/21) [ynWsfvplxdaqjk], or ? for help: y
hunk ./src/Darcs/Arguments.lhs 1462
+
+\begin{options}
+--remote-cmd
+\end{options}
+
+use the COMMAND instead of the default darcs binary. This allows for darcs
+usage in cases where the darcs binary is not in the default path.
+

I use this a lot now since when doing a lot of changes at once I want to group them semantically in the patches. When I get tired I forget which changes I actually wanted to record and with the list command I can now review what I did so far.
The shown changes will introduce a new feature that will allow you to set the remote command that should get executed at the other end of a ssh connection. But this will need a lot of testing and will be shown here soon.
