It would need to ssh, which test +suites should not do. So, I took a detour.. + +Support for `GIT_SSH` and `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` has been requested before for +various reasons. So I implemented that, which took 4 hours. (With one +little possible compatability caveat, since git-annex needs to pass the -n +parameter to ssh sometimes, and git's interface doesn't allow for such a +parameter.) + +Now the test suite can use those environment variables to make mock ssh +remotes be accessed using local `sh` instead of `ssh`. + +Today's work was sponsored by Trenton Cronholm on Patreon. |
