Hi, seems like somebody wants to annoy me on the issue tracker, rather than do the proper thing, namely _request_ -- _politely_ -- on the _list_...
Anyway, here it goes: Some people prefer plink.exe to ssh.exe. Maybe we can ship plink.exe and have an option to use that by default in the Git installer? Note: I am totally opposed to changing the default in msysGit, as this would annoy _only_ those who have done actual work on msysGit. And I am mightily annoyed by people who misbehave [*1*] This blog has an entry that is actually helpful with regard to setting up plink.exe: http://richfrog.curzons.net/2008/05/git-with-putty-on-windows.html And he even refers to the mailing list! Ciao, Dscho *1* If anybody wondered why I have been particularly inactive on msysGit, the reason is this Stephen Waits guy, who insulted me personally after I told him how rude he was (he even bounces my mail, would you believe?). I decided that it is time to stay away from such abusers, and that means staying away from Windows people, which in turn means to stay away from msysGit.
