THEN, I have downloaded newest version of git from website https://github.com/downloads/msysgit/git/Git-1.7.11-preview20120620.exe using settings to integrate git with command line. and while trying to do anything involving access through SSH i have obtained once again 'Cannot spawn ssh' error message. I have no idea whatsoever what can be done more in this matter. I have even used processmonitor application to take a look what/how git is trying to launch ssh client but I have not found it there 2012/7/11 Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen <tfn...@gmail.com> > On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 11:23:46 PM UTC+2, Patryk Małek wrote: >> >> Hello again, >> >> A lot of time passed since my last e-mail but I have been trying some >> different approaches to this problem but ... none worked.
