[darcs-devel] [issue1371] SSH_PORT is broken on Windows if your using Putty

[Matthew Elder]

New submission from Matthew Elder <matt at mattelder.org>:

This happens because darcs tries to use -p for port when putty only supports -
P. I have come up with a workaround for this issue, but it would be nice if 
this problem was fixed. Probably what needs to happen is that darcs needs to 
detect whether ssh is openssh or putty. This can be done with plink but not 
sure how to do this with putty. (putty doesn't support -V for version, plink 
does).
