when i use git-gui (0.9.0) to push/pull to/from a git+ssh://repo i have
to supply my password to ssh. i get the password prompt from ssh on the

in the background it is rather bothering to find the correct shell where
ssh expects the password. could this be changed (in a safe way) in
git-gui e.g. like pinentry pops up a window when gpg is used to sign
emails?
p.s. please cc me. i have not subscribed to the list

I know this doesn't answer the problem exactly, but if you use ssh keys
and some sort of key management utility (such as Keychain or maybe Gnome
keyring?), you can dodge the password entry problem and never have to
enter a password (pending you register your ssh key with the server [ex:
ssh-copy-id servername])
Another option that might answer your problem (and could be potentially
integrated into git-gui) is the usage of the SSH_ASKPASS environment
variable.
SSH_ASKPASS is a program to execute to get the passphrase that works by
reading console output from the program.
