From: Segev Finer <segev...@gmail.com> This environment variable and configuration value allow to override the autodetection of plink/tortoiseplink in case that Git gets it wrong.
[jes: wrapped overly-long lines, factored out and changed get_ssh_variant() to handle_ssh_variant() to accomodate the change from the putty/tortoiseplink variables to port_option/needs_batch, adjusted the documentation, free()d value obtained from the config.] Signed-off-by: Segev Finer <segev...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schinde...@gmx.de> --- Documentation/config.txt | 11 +++++++++++ Documentation/git.txt | 6 ++++++ connect.c | 11 ++++++++--- t/t5601-clone.sh | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/config.txt b/Documentation/config.txt index af2ae4cc02..b88df57ab6 100644 --- a/Documentation/config.txt +++ b/Documentation/config.txt @@ -1949,6 +1949,17 @@ Environment variable settings always override any matches.
