Subject: [PATCH] connect: read $GIT_SSH_COMMAND from config file
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2016 13:16:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160626111635.6809-1-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)

Similar to $GIT_ASKPASS or $GIT_PROXY_COMMAND, we also read from
config file first then fall back to $GIT_SSH_COMMAND.

This is useful for selecting different private keys targetting the
same host (e.g. github)

 core.gitProxy can also be used for my purpose (I need pushing, not
 fetching though; the document says for fetching but I guess
 core.gitProxy always works for pushing), but then the key file
 is hidden behind the script. And writing a script for this seems a
 bit overkill.
