The output shows a successful ssh connection to git.gnome.org; but you
cannot log into that machine. It's sealed to only allow remote git
access.
Probably we should do two things to clarify:
- The translator wiki page should not say to run ssh -v, since
all the output makes it really hard to understand what's going on.
- I should change the error message when you try to ssh in from:
ERROR: must specify a command
To maybe:
SSH authentication succeeded. Interactive login to git.gnome.org
is not allowed.
