And glancing at the code, it looks like libcurl is doing this for a few commands but not all of them. If you'd like to implement this for more commands, be our guest. The code is in lib/ssh.c.

Ah yeah, I guess that makes sense. I was fooled by the existence of the quote commands (chmod/rm/etc) into thinking of it as essentially still a text based protocol, just tunnelled over ssh. If that's not the case, then I can see the problem :)

I'm up for adding the human-readable stuff, but I'll have to have a chat with the guys I'm working with and see if they want me to do it.

Cheers.
