git-annex/doc/todo/git-annex_ignores_GIT__95__SSH.mdwn

### Please describe the problem.

git uses environment variable GIT_SSH to determine SSH client.

I set it to plink.exe because I extensively use pageant infrastructure and do NOT want to have 2 systems lying around.

Unfortunately git-annex seems to ignore that.

Even worse, it results in unpredicted behavior because the git part works (e.g. clone) whereas annex/rsync does not resulting in half-ok repositories without meaningful error messages.

It only becomes evident when ssh.exe in the git repository is deleted.

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Set %GIT_SSH% and remove ssh.exe

You will get

     git-annex: ssh: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
     failed
     git-annex: drop: 1 failed
