This option is related to
     -O ctl_cmd
             Control an active connection multiplexing master process.  When
             the -O option is specified, the ctl_cmd argument is interpreted
             and passed to the master process.  Valid commands are: ``check''
             (check that the master process is running) and ``exit'' (request
             the master to exit).

which is avalaible in openssh.

Using the "pull" or "push" command, you can disable this feature with
the option:
--disable-ssh-cm               Disable use of SSH ControlMaster feature

Might it help.

I see no clue why "darcs init" is trying to use ssh...
