I haven't used the Putty suite with Darcs in a while, so I'm not sure
what part of my earlier testing gave me the idea that Darcs used SSH
options incompatible with Putty; looks like it works just fine.
To use the Putty suite with Darcs, you need the following:
set DARCS_SCP=pscp
set DARCS_SFTP=psftp
set DARCS_SSH=plink
To use passwordless authentication, start Putty's Pageant, add your key
to its key list, and make sure it's listed in .ssh/authorized_keys.
Plink should transparently connect to Pageant.
If this information is not on the wiki, I'll add it presently.
