I've got no idea -- I haven't used Windows in years.
All I know is that for all practical purposes, Windows and Cygwin
should be considered as two distinct operating systems that happen to
run simultaneously on a single machine. You cannot expect Windows
processes to interoperate reliably with Cygwin processes any more than
you can expect, say, Windows processes to interoperate reliably with
MS-DOS processes.
You either need to find a native Windows binary of ssh, or a Cygwin
binary of Darcs. A heterogeneous combination is asking for trouble.
