Hi all, I'm using git 1.7.3.2 in Fedora 14. In Fedora, SSH_ASKPASS will set to be /usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass in /etc/profile.d/gnome-ssh-askpass.sh, so this environment is set by login shell, and it will still be set even when X11 is not inuse. According to ssh's manpage: "If ssh does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase." But git will call SSH_ASKPASS even if there is a terminal associated with it and DISPLAY is not set, then following warning is displayed and git failed to go through. $ git fetch (gnome-ssh-askpass:1487): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I think it‘s better if git could implement behavior conforming to ssh.
