As a "7/6" on top of my other series, this should just be:

diff --git a/connect.c b/connect.c
index db965c9..838146c 100644
--- a/connect.c
+++ b/connect.c
@@ -432,6 +432,7 @@ static void git_proxy_connect(int fd[2], char *host)
 	argv[2] = port;
 	argv[3] = NULL;
 	memset(&proxy, 0, sizeof(proxy));
+	proxy.use_shell = 1;
 	proxy.argv = argv;
 	proxy.in = -1;
 	proxy.out = -1;

But I will leave it to somebody who actually uses the proxy feature to
test and submit a patch.
