I don't understand how this is information leakage. For local files, I
can already check if a file exists or not, as well as I can if Irun 'scp' to do
it.

For uses where scp requires a password, that will of course need to be
given before any files are checked as another user, so no information
should be leaked there, either.

In any case, it's minor optimization. I thought I'd suggest it.
 
I use ssh and scp and everyday and find them extremely useful.

Thanks for your work on the project!
