 In my defaultrepo I have an ssh path:
 `simonpj at darcs.haskell.org:/home/darcs/ghc`.  (You may say I should use
 http, but it should work.)

 It used to work fine, including with `darcs-all`. But since these two
 patches
 {{{
 Thu Aug 27 15:15:54 BST 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * fix 'darcs-all rec' (amongst other things)
 Thu Aug 27 14:57:17 BST 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * REDO: Add -r option to darcs-all, and remove push-all (#3375)
 }}}
 `darcs-all` fails badly on MSYS.  What happens is that it tries to fetch
 from
 {{{
 simonpj at darcs.haskell.org:c:\\msys\\1.0\\usr\\home\\darcs\\ghc
 }}}
 or something like that.  Somehow the MSYS path mangling has got hold of
 the path, whereas it did not do so before.

 Happily, if I use an HTTP path `http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc` in my
 defaultrepo, all is well.
