Dev here.
Darke Files isn't available for MacOS yet. I'll make sure to understand how MacOS' file system works (especially the meta data) before working on a MacOS port. If you can provide me with more info about that test suite I would be very interested.
Right now version history of a repository is saved in a ".darke" directory that works quite similar to Git's ".git" directory. I've got a few experiments planned to improve on that system, how well it can be incrementally backed-up is a metric I will also consider.
That Darke Files does not change your files at all is one of the core principles. The same will be true for symbolic links. I'm not handling symbolic links quite yet; I've been bitten by Git's not-good-enough handling of symbolic links on Windows before.
