22:03 <twb> gal_bolle: the way to get what you want is to use sshfs and DARCS_SLOPPY_LOCKS, which only requires that the server has an SFTP service -- it doesn't even require a full SSH shell.
22:03 <gal_bolle> is that documented somewhere?
22:03 <twb> And DARCS_SLOPPY_LOCKS is I believe only a workaround needed because older versions of sshfs didn't implement the lock syscall
22:03 <gal_bolle> it would be great for all my personal repos

22:05 <twb> gal_bolle: PS: note that sshfs is significantly slower than transfer-mode.
22:05 <twb> gal_bolle: but it *does* work, at least.
22:05 <twb> I should probably document it better.

Done at http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/sshfs.  I'm not sure if this should
be merged into best_practices.tex.  Nor do I know how to link that article to
the rest of the wiki.
