Some more notes on this.  I just realised that in order for this scheme
to work (the one where you use --disable-ssh-cm, but you configure ssh
to automatically do control master stuff), you must first log in and
leave a connection open.  I.e., in one window:
  ssh me at mywonderfulserver
and then in another window:
  darcs pull --disable-ssh-cm me at mywonderfulserver.
  
Interestingly, I get the same kind of hanging with this setup, which
leads me to think that maybe the problem is not so much how we're using
the control master, but just the control master itself.  Another
potentially useful note is that when I hit Ctrl-C in disgust during the
darcs operation, the logged in ssh window prints this:
    mm_receive_fd: recvmsg: expected received 1 got 0

Hmm.  Case isn't closed, of course.  But just wanted to let you know I'm
still looking into it in my slow, confused manner.

Cheers,
