Would it be OK to add the `-x' flag to ssh instead?

Well, this was to be expected, after what I wrote in response to 3. in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/76650/focus=2598 Reality always catches up with you, and here again we see that plink and other siblings of OpenSSH should be best handled with scripts, preferably ones that strip out options they do not recognize. IOW something like -- snip -- #!/bin/bash plinkopt= while test $# != 0 do case "$1" in -p) plinkopt="$plinkopt -P $2" shift ;; -*) # unrecognized; strip out ;; *) break ;; esac shift done exec plink $plinkopt "$@" -- snap -- Ciao, Dscho -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
