This one is just an annoyance. Still darcs 1.0.8 on Windows.

When I do 'darcs send' I get apparently-harmless messages

scp: /home/darcs/ghc-fc/.git/HEAD: No such file or directory
scp: /home/darcs/ghc-fc/_darcs/format: No such file or directory
scp: /home/darcs/ghc-fc/.git/darcs-format: No such file or directory

sh-2.04$ darcs send --output big-patch
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
  -l user     Log in using this user name.
  -n          Redirect input from /dev/null.
  -A          Enable authentication agent forwarding.
  -a          Disable authentication agent forwarding.
  -X          Enable X11 connection forwarding.
  -x          Disable X11 connection forwarding.
  -i file     Identity for public key authentication (default:
~/.ssh/identity)
  -t          Tty; allocate a tty even if command is given.
  -T          Do not allocate a tty.
  -v          Verbose; display verbose debugging messages.
              Multiple -v increases verbosity.
  -V          Display version number only.
  -P          Don't allocate a privileged port.
  -q          Quiet; don't display any warning messages.
  -f          Fork into background after authentication.
  -e char     Set escape character; ``none'' = disable (default: ~).
  -c cipher   Select encryption algorithm: ``3des'', ``blowfish''
  -m macs     Specify MAC algorithms for protocol version 2.
  -p port     Connect to this port.  Server must be on the same port.
  -L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address
  -R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address
              These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and
              forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.
  -C          Enable compression.
  -N          Do not execute a shell or command.
  -g          Allow remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
  -1          Force protocol version 1.
  -2          Force protocol version 2.
  -4          Use IPv4 only.
  -6          Use IPv6 only.
  -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration
file.
  -s          Invoke command (mandatory) as SSH2 subsystem.

Creating patch to "simonpj@darcs.haskell.org:/home/darcs/ghc-fc"...

  * Remove compiler from the boring list (how did it get there?)
Shall I send this patch? (1/2)  [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: y

  * Massive patch for the first months work adding System FC to GHC

  This is (sadly) all done in one patch to avoid Darcs bugs.
  It's not complete work... more FC stuff to come.  A compiler
  using just this patch will fail dismally.

sh-2.04$ ls -l

Obviously on windows we're accidentally printing stderr of the ssh
commands... which we shouldn't be doing.  :(

There have been so many changes with redirections for win32/unix and -q flags
for putty/ssh, so I've lost track. What is the current status of this issue with
regard to darcs 1.0.9rc2? Are there still things to muffle?

Yes.  It's something that affects Unix (and probably Windows too).
1.0.9rc2 outputs something the following messages:
  * Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
  * Exit request sent.

Luckily, this is easy to fix.  I'll be sending in a patch shortly.
