Package: git-gui Version: 1:1.7.1-1 Severity: normal
git-gui--askpass is missing from the git-gui package, so git-gui cannot ask for a password when fetching by ssh unless it was started from a terminal. When git-gui--askpass is manually copied from the source into /usr/lib/git-core, though, it doesn’t particularly work; its window just freezes after the password is typed. One workaround is ‘aptitude install ssh-askpass-gnome; export SSH_ASKPASS=ssh-askpass’.
