The clue is "executing locally", on your local machine, as your local user, you have an entry for the Git server in the known_hosts file in your ssh (usually ~/.ssh/) directory. The server has never connected to the Git host over SSH as your deploy user before, and thus the deploy user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts file on the server is empty, thus without a TTY to prompt you "is this host key correct" (when people always hit "yes" without checking) it won't continue.
Various workarounds exist, one option is to override GIT_SSH and make that point to a wrapper script that performs the same ssh checkout, with `-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no`, we don't do that because it's a matter of a) Git (we support a bunch of SCMs) b) It only applies to about 1/3 of possible Git use cases (http, git and ssh protocols) and c) well, the whole security thing. Admittedly it's misleading, in the forthcoming version of Capistrano this will be checked for in `cap deploy:check`, as we can realistically be expected to know how this works by now! In the meantime, you'll have to either add the line manually to known_hosts (take a look at your local file for the format), or simply connect once to the git server using ssh from the server(s) you are trying to deploy to and answer "yes" when prompted.
