Joey Hess e213ef310f git-annex (5.20140717) unstable; urgency=high
* Fix minor FD leak in journal code. Closes: #754608
  * direct: Fix handling of case where a work tree subdirectory cannot
    be written to due to permissions.
  * migrate: Avoid re-checksumming when migrating from hashE to hash backend.
  * uninit: Avoid failing final removal in some direct mode repositories
    due to file modes.
  * S3: Deal with AWS ACL configurations that do not allow creating or
    checking the location of a bucket, but only reading and writing content to
    it.
  * resolvemerge: New plumbing command that runs the automatic merge conflict
    resolver.
  * Deal with change in git 2.0 that made indirect mode merge conflict
    resolution leave behind old files.
  * sync: Fix git sync with local git remotes even when they don't have an
    annex.uuid set. (The assistant already did so.)
  * Set gcrypt-publish-participants when setting up a gcrypt repository,
    to avoid unncessary passphrase prompts.
    This is a security/usability tradeoff. To avoid exposing the gpg key
    ids who can decrypt the repository, users can unset
    gcrypt-publish-participants.
  * Install nautilus hooks even when ~/.local/share/nautilus/ does not yet
    exist, since it is not automatically created for Gnome 3 users.
  * Windows: Move .vbs files out of git\bin, to avoid that being in the
    PATH, which caused some weird breakage. (Thanks, divB)
  * Windows: Fix locking issue that prevented the webapp starting
    (since 5.20140707).

### 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
