Dear darcs/Mac users,

As you might know, darcs has been showing some strange and occasional
hanging with ssh-related stuff.  For some reason, it only seems to
affect Mac users.

One workaround it has been to use the --disable-ssh-cm switch to disable
the ControlMaster feature (and perhaps use some other mechanism instead,
like ssh-agent).

Here's one thing I would like you to try to help me figure out what's
wrong.

Say you got a server that you like to connect to for darcs, we'll call
it wonderfulmachine.com.  Try configuring ssh to use the control master
whenever it connects to that machine.  Put in a block like

Host wonderful 
  HostName wonderfulmachine.com 
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/ssh_control_%h_%p_%r

Now you should be able to do stuff like:
darcs push --disable-ssh-cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:somerepo

You'll still get your control master convenience, only it'll be openssh
that's taking care of the details and not darcs.  If this works just as
bad, it might mean the issue is not 100% us... if it works better, even
better, because it means it might be something we can fix.
