I noticed that on windows, I was receiving this error when trying to get a darcs2 repository on windows:
unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect
Apparently, the Windows version of Darcs-2 requires the use of the sftp sub-system. In response to this, I have added SFTP support to the ssh jail. Has anyone else encountered something like this? It just goes to show that there are many caveats to getting ssh & darcs working in a cross-platform manner.
