Darcs on ssh on w32 requires a account name, unlike darcs on ssh on unix, which
uses your current account name by default if you omit the "user@" part of the
ssh path.

Okay, so I know there probably isn't a good solution to that.  Chalk up another
reason why it would be nice to have GHC native to cygwin -- my preferred
operating system for my current work -- instead of native to w32.

But anyway, this bug report is actually that if you forget and type something
like

darcs push 192.168.1.160:therepothere

Then darcs will interactively query you about which patches -- of the pushable
ones -- you wish to push, and then after you've chosen it will error out with

"No supported authentication methods left to try!"
