tweak it to include the new OpenSSH binary is supposed to include the 
step to adjust the release.sh script to grab the updated sources and 
build the binary.


However, another option is to take a look at the new mingwGitDevEnv 
project [1], which relies on mingw-get to retrieve binary packages. I 
hopefully find soon the time to include OpenSSH 6.1p1 incl. HPN-SSH 
patches [2].

Due to a lack of contributors this is taking longer than I
anticipated. But I realize I need to make contributing easier, and
also find the time to merge some outstanding pull requests. I hope to
be able to make some significant improvements at the end of March.

I attempted to do just this about a month ago though things really 
started to snowball. To get openssh to compile you need to update a 
bunch of other programs in the msys branch and I just lost interest in 
doing so. More info can be found in the msysgit issue Upgrade SSH [1].



However, another option is to take a look at the new mingwGitDevEnv
project [1], which relies on mingw-get to retrieve binary packages. I

Any idea as to when this mingwGitDevEnv project will be mature enough to 
use as a replacement for msysgit? One of the reasons I gave up trying to 
tweak things to get openssh compiling was that this seemed like a much 
better idea. Though if it's fair off I might find time to give it 
another shot.

If someone is keen to try and update openssh in msysgit I'd be willing 
to share my hacks from a month ago which could be used as a starting 
point. It was left nowhere near ready for a pull request, partially due 
to binary issues mentioned above, but at least it'll provide reasonable 
ideas to a few of the things that need to happen.

 We're having issues with the version of SSH included in git version
 1.8.1.msysgit.1 (Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe)
 
 The included version of SSH is from 2007:
 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin - Oldssh -V
 OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007
 
 Updating the OpenSSH component (downloaded with Cygwin, cumbersome!!!)
 resolves the issue:
 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\binssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
 
 Is there any way you can incorporate this update in the installer?

Yes, you should grab the msysGit (the Git for Windows build
environment) [2], tweak it to include the new OpenSSH binary, ensure it
builds and works OK and then send a pull request (or post your patchset
to the msysgit mailing list [3].

A sort of crash course on how to get started is [1].
The main page for the msysGit/Git for Windows development is [4].

Note that there should be no Cygwin involved, of course.
Git for Windows is built completely from the sources of all the
components it includes, using MinGW/MSYS so no component of Git for
Windows depends on the Cygwin runtime DLL.
