Using Git Gui (1.7) to clone a project the ssh unexpectacly crashes

Checking the ssh version supplied with Git reveals OpenSSH_4.6p1.
The version supplied with MinSYS is 5.4p1.
So I simply replaced Gits ssh version with the one comming with MinSYS
- Git Gui works now as expected.
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).
