If the ssh key of the server or client machine has changed, any ssh
connection will fail, with a message like (if server key changes):
----8<----
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
----8<----
or (client key change):
----8<----
Permission denied (publickey).

The problem is that darcs does not let the user know about this, it just
tries to get the remote _darcs/format (and fails), then the remote
_darcs/inventory (and fails). The user sees this:
----8<----

NOTE: the server may be running a version of darcs prior to 2.0.0.
Installing darcs 2 on the server will speed up ssh-based commands.

Darcs should instead stop as soon as it "Failed to start ssh connection".
