So how about "host nickname" instead of "virtual host name"?
Just use "host", since that is the default syntax. Then change: > session_name:/path/to/repository to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/repository Then explain that special settings and/or aliases can be defined for specific hosts by using ~/.ssh/config or the "Saved Session" feature of PuTTy, and adjust the following accordingly.

You've gained a little convenience, and better interoperability with Darcs, but you haven't nearly tapped the potential until you start using ssh-agent and public key authentication, which allows you continued access to your hosts after typing a passphrase only once. If you're a heavy user of SSH, this is indispensible. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
