Under what circumstances is that preferable to "darcs get
somewhere.else:some/repo"?
Now, if you were connecting to a server "fs" behind a gateway "gw"
ssh -fNL 2000:fs:22 gw
SSH_PORT=2000 darcs get 127.0.0.1:dir
Then I would say it'd be easier long-term to set up
cat >>~/.ssh/config <<EOF
Host fs
ProxyCommand ssh gw nc %h %p
EOF
darcs get fs:dir
For example, if you log out and log back in, SSH_PORT won't be set,
and "darcs pull" will Just Work only in the ssh_config-based version.
