With darcs 2.7.98.1 (beta 1) on two machines, pulling from one to the other repeats the ssh password prompt for every file fetched (five prompts to pull one patch.) Downgrading the client (pulling) machine to darcs 2.5.2 restores the old behaviour (just one password prompt).

I've observed repeated password prompts myself. I wonder if this is also packs-related.

Can someone test with --packs and --nopacks and compare the results?

Correct me If I am wrong, but --packs and --no-packs are applicable only to get. So, we cannot use --packs for darcs pull.

Likely to be a known problem with transfer-mode.

I think patch686 (in screened) fixes this. Simon: any chance you'd be free to write a test case, perhaps in the spirit of tests/network/ssh.sh? I envision grepping for darcs transfer-mode. Slight problem is giving a server to connect to. I think I last tried to fix that with an environment variable. I could be worth having a default that the darcs team would use.

Simon: apologies for shirking responsibility. I ended up writing the test myself :-)
