Uh-oh, can anybody reproduce this? This is surprising, as one would think that this sort of thing would have been reported earlier. I tried a darcs get --lazy on Linux and was reminded that darcs does this: ssh [email protected] darcs transfer-mode --repodir darcs/ which is presumably what PuTTY is complaining about. Thanks, Eric PS, two asides: 1. There's a new binary out for darcs 2.4.4 on Windows, if you'd like to help us test it: - http://darcs.net/binaries/windows/darcs-2.4.4-win1.zip We'll be officially announcing it in a week. 2. There's some evidence that darcs actually works fine with MSYS OpenSSH. The caveat seems to be that if you're running in an MSYS shell, MSYS will try to convert your [email protected]:blip\blop\blub into something like [email protected];C:\Development\Tools\msys\1.0\blip\blop\blup Presumably, the same would happen if you were running PuTTY. Anyway, maybe it would be good to shift the wiki away from PuTTY if this was the case. As I understand it, Salvatore wants Darcs 2.5 to ship with TortoiseSSH, which apparently pops up a nice Windows dialogue box for your passphrase. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
