I have learned to ignore the messages from scp below.  Apparently they are harmless.  But they are unsettling to an uninformed user.  Can I safely ignore these messages, I wonder?  Or maybe something bad will come back to bite me in a week or two if I do?

Could they be suppressed, at least unless you say -v or -debug?

Hi Simon,

This has been "fixed" in the lastest darcs.  We do not suppress the messages
because we need scp's stderr output to be passed to the user because of putty
being silly; however, we now inform the user that the messages are harmless and
that they can make them go away by upgrading the server to darcs 2.

In the meantime, you can touch _darcs/format on the server side.
