You provide exactly zero context, but I think you're talking about "Git for Windows" (also known as msysgit) because on POSIX systems an SSH client is usually a part of the system. Some points (again): * This is just a dirty hack. If you really want to make msysgit better consider patching it to fetch and build a newer OpenSSH client, then submit a patch (via the msysgit mailing list). The project is undermanned so such a patch will be welcomed, I think. * I would just use PuTTY and its plink.exe executable (it's a command-line tool loosely resembling the "ssh" command-line tool from OpenSSH). It's a 100% native Windows application, which also conveniently supports caching of keys (via the included pageant program). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
