Yes, the problem here is that git prepends GIT_EXEC_PATH (compiled-in, from environment, or from option) to the PATH, and the Debian compiled-in GIT_EXEC_PATH is /usr/bin/, as the git-* programs are installed there. So /usr/bin/ssh is found first. This will be most probably be solved with git 1.6.0, when the git-* programs are moved out of /usr/bin/. You can work around the problem by setting GIT_SSH in the environment, see git(7). Thanks, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
