[Fab-user] run('git pull') fails - ssh/git issues

[Aljosa Mohorovic]

executing run('git pull') produces:
---
[host] out: Initialized empty Git repository in
/var/www/wsgi/PROJECT_NAME/tmp/.git/
[host] err: Permission denied, please try again.
[host] err: Permission denied, please try again.
[host] err: Permission denied (publickey,password).
[host] err: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
---

env.user is owner of /var/www/wsgi/PROJECT_NAME/ so i don't think
it's filesystem permissions issue.
i think this happens because ssh-agent is not available for fabric ssh
session so git fails because it can't authenticate when pulling.
any tips on how i could resolve this? maybe i'm missing something obvious?

yup. paramiko can't do ssh agent forwarding, which sucks and will
hopefully be remedied at some point, either by them or us.

The other part of the puzzle is that Fab can only currently detect
sudo prompts, so when git falls back to its password prompt, things
fall down. So there's no easy way to use Git with Fabric right now
other than using anonymous Git instead of Git-over-SSH (git:// vs
git@).

This is a pain point for me too so hopefully we'll have one or both
issues worked out for 0.9.x or 1.0 at the latest.
