Yeah, that is what I meant. The revision of the bill would be some meta-history that doesn't quite fit the darcs metaphor.

I also hear the applying of all these patches is a slow manual process only done periodically? :|

Amendment updating is done nightly, and the results are on "congress.gov", which is the user-friendly access interface. The XML dump is the raw data, made available to the public.

The user guide for the XML data is on Github.[1]

"ammendment updating" would be the meta-history of the bills themselves, right? I meant the applying passed and signed bills to the overall body of all. When is that done?
