I was secretly hoping you'd work on this.

There are only two reasons that Darcs would invoke darcs on the remote
end:

1. for darcs push (ssh server darcs apply)
2. for darcs transfer-mode (to speed up fetching files)

It sounds like we could live with just getting (1) to work now and
(2) to work later...
