I use darcs on cygwin every day. You have to follow the instructions on the wiki [1] to install a Windows binary of ssh and then it works fine. [1] http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries#head-3b8fd3f7da72746a5076ef5fced061003666d601 Hm. Could it be that the instructions were ambiguous about whether the steps labelled "To enable access of remote repositories over ssh"? I'll fix that. > Folks, use Unix if you can. Use Windows if you must. But do yourself > a favour -- don't install Cygwin. > > (And if you do, don't send us ``bug reports''.) Is this really an acceptable policy for darcs? "Cygwin users not welcome?" I personally have contributed some of my time to make darcs easier to install and use on Cygwin (and, at the same time, on non-cygwin win32). I have not hacked on darcs internals, but have done things like updated the Wiki pages and fixed up the darcs cygwin wrapper script. Now to the off-topic stuff: > The 1980s are long gone, and we've known for fifteen years now that > hybrid systems just don't work.

I think what we learned is that the less powerful proprietary-software company would cave in to the more powerful proprietary-software company and leave its users high and dry. Thankfully users of Free Software don't have to worry about this kind of thing, and can happily go ahead and use tools made by different authors even if the authors of some of the tools are antagonistic toward the use of other tools.
