I am wondering if anyone can clarify why SmartGit does not behave when I connect to our version control server via SSH. GitBash behaves perfectly.
Background:
I have a version control server configured on the network, working with MSYSGit with WinSSH as an SSH server. It connects to AD to resolve usernames, etc., and I imported all the public RSA keys, etc. Everything works peachy.
One curved ball for us is that although Git is installed in 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Git', our actual source code is on 'C: \ Git', which is regularly maintained.
I configured WinSSH to make all SSH sessions default to "C: \ Git" as the home folder that works. When I use Git Bash to connect to the server, it defaults to "C: \ Git". Perfect.
When I get SmartGit (using SmartGit SSH Client) to connect to the same server with the URL:
ssh://<server>/<folder>/<repo>
I get an error message ...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\<folder>\<repo>
... does not seem to be a repository. Well, yes ... He should look for it in 'C: \ Git', not 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Git'.
I'm not sure why SmartGit is not suitable with this setting, but I believe that WinSSH settings are ignored by its SSH client by default, since it fully defines the entire path from "C: \ Program Files" (x86) \ Git.
My questions:
Any ideas SmartGit can get the path "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Git"?
Is this a variable that I can set somewhere?
Additional information (update)
SmartGit version 3.0.4, however, the problem was also present in 2.x.
I attached what (I'm sure) is a failure instance in the SmartGit application log:
