OpenSSH has -oBatchMode=yes:

    If set to “yes”, passphrase/password querying will be disabled.  In
    addition, the ServerAliveInterval option will be set to 300 seconds
    by default.  This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs
    where no user is present to supply the password, and where it is
    desirable to detect a broken network swiftly.  The argument must be
    “yes” or “no”.  The default is “no”.

I use it liberally for cron jobs and suchlike, but I suspect some Darcs
users haven't adopted multi-factor authentication (i.e. keys) yet :-(
