Yes, pushing via ssh should work. Maybe some people will use Darcs 2.8
"on" OF repositories like this and will not notice any difference.

So maybe we should add that Darcs can push via ssh to OF repositories
if the remote Darcs can apply to OF? I'm mixed between telling the
whole truth and confusing users with a long message, or not telling
about push-via-ssh and concentrating on the "you should upgrade,
minimal support only" message.
