I sent out a diff to fix the error message (https://secure.phabricator.com/D3231), the new one reads:
This patch is for the 'phabricator' project, but the working copy does not have an '.arcconfig' file to identify which project it belongs to. Still try to apply the patch?
We're trying to catch the case where you're attempting to apply a patch to the wrong project -- I'm guessing revision D3 was made in a working copy with a .gitignored ".arcconfig" file that associates it with "E3Experiments". If you check in the ".arcconfig" file, arc will be able to recognize the working copy's project and will stop complaining.
What could we improve about the user guide?

My first impression is very good. The UI is very nice (it guides you when it needs to, it just does the job if all is fine).
The user's guide is unfortunately poor.
I don't know yet how to avoid this warning:
This diff is for the 'E3Experiments' project but the working copy belongs to the '' project.
I see that arc can be also installed as the git pre-receive hook, but it needs some project configuration for that. Interesting.
Anyway, I managed to download one change:
$ git branch -vv
- arcpatch-D3 be7cfd9 Merge branch 'master' of ssh://gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/E3Experiments into munaf/pef2
master e40fce0 [origin/master] Rename events.js -> communityClicks.js
