Gah! I meant to add what looked like relevant bullet points > http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsInternals/SSH#putty # under 1.0.9rc2 - psftp (get) will continously ask you for your password and just die. This is because we are using stdin for batch-controlling psftp (this was added in 1.0.9rc2). This works fine when you are using PuTTY+pageant (no passwords to read), or if you are using OpenSSH (reads directly from the tty, not from stdin... cool!), but it breaks psftp sans pageant because it will try to read bits of batch file for the password # under 1.0.9rc2 - if you patch darcs to use the -b argument instead of feeding the batchfile in, darcs+PuTTY (sans pageant) just hangs # under 1.0.5 - you get the same hanging behaviour (whew! this means the hanging is not a regression that I introduced). No ideas yet what causes the hanging To be taken with the usual Eric-proofing salt, -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
