It turns out the bug isn't in exec, but in the call to exec in
External.hs.  I was passing an empty string as an argument when there is no
SSH_PORT environment variable, which is what scp was barfing on.  I've
fixed this bug, and another I came across while testing it.

darcs push --and-apply abridgegame.org:mydirectory

now works for me.
