Hooks execute in a mostly empty environment so your ssh client will not have access to the ssh agent. Add a wrapper to compensate, e.g. Specify a passphrase less key file (-i) or configure hook environment via conf/hooks-env (from 1.8) to find the ssh agent. As it's pid/socket will change that is a moving target. You should it run --non-interactive in either case. Andreas
