What about "darcs push --apply-as"? I'm tempted to say "unsupported" so 
instead of saying:

	darcs push --apply-as foo ajt at darcs.debian.net:/srv/foo/xyzzy

I might say

	export DARCS_APPLY_SSH=applyviassh.sh
	darcs push ssh://ajt@darcs.debian.net/srv/foo/xyzzy?user=foo

and assume applyviassh.sh parses the url appropriately when working out 
what to actually do. That'd make:

	export DARCS_APPLY_FOO=...
	darcs push --apply-as .. foo://..

and error. Does that seem reasonable?

Cheers,
aj
