[darcs-devel] [issue32] multiplex transactions over a single ssh connection

New submission from Zooko <zooko at zooko.com>:

Not only does creating multiple ssh connection make darcs noticeably slower for
some operations, but it has recently been discovered that some firewalls reject
a quick succession of connections from the same source to the same destination,
which means that darcs mysteriously fails if its ssh connections need to pass
through such a firewall.  This explains some previously observed mysterious
failures.

openssh has recently grown a nice ControlMaster feature which might help with this.
