* deal with ssh key expiryGravatar Joey Hess2014-05-15
| | | | | Not a perfect solution, but good enough, few users will wait 10 minutes in the middle and see it expire, I hope.

* avoid clobbering existing envGravatar Joey Hess2014-05-14
| | | | | This is necessary on windows, ssh couldn't resolve hostnames without env for whatever reason.
* webapp: Better ssh password prompting.Gravatar Joey Hess2014-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass. Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after the initial probe. When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it, rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing. Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been successfully tested yet on Windows. This commit was sponsored by Ralph Mayer.
* support being run by ssh as ssh-askpass replacementGravatar Joey Hess2014-04-29
| | | | | | | | | To use, set GIT_ANNEX_SSHASKPASS to point to a fifo or regular file (FIFO is better, avoids touching disk or multiple readers) that contains the password. Then set SSH_ASKPASS=git-annex, and when ssh runs it, it will tell ssh the password. This is not yet used..
