+Based on the usage output, it seems to be running a recent enough version
+of git-annex, which should notice if it's being run as a proxy for ssh.
+
+Some kind of problem with the environment variables used to communicate
+with the git-annex proxy seems like the most likely problem.
+But, I am not able to reproduce this problem on Windows (XP) here.
+The `GIT_SSH` env var is clearly being set, or git wouldn't try to run
+git-annex as ssh. The `GIT_ANNEX_SSHOPTION` env var is set in the same way
+as `GIT_SSH`. Maybe git-annex is failing to see it for some reason?
+
+Since you're comfortable with building git-annex from source, maybe you can
+try some simple patches to debug this?
+
+Here's the first patch I'd suggest. it will make git-annex print out
+what value, if any, it's seeing for `GIT_ANNEX_SSHOPTION`. Note that you'll
+need to install the patched git-annex into the path.
