Using ssh-ident with git

[uykusuz]

Hi,

What would be required to use this tool with git? simply prepending the BINARY_SSH=git won't work. I guess because it expects an actual ssh-like executable.

Do you have any hints to accomplish that?

First you need to set up ssh-ident via symbolic links within your path.
Example from the README:
ln -s /path/to/ssh-ident ~/bin/ssh

Second you have to use MATCH_ARGV to check the parameters given to ssh.
I recommend currently to use my fork (branch feature-more-flexible-matching; Pull request #63), which allows to check for combinations of values in different arguments. See the docstring inside the forked script (README will be updated in the branch when done with all wanted enhancements).

@maddes-b please enable issues at your fork:

Sorry, I forgot to enable those.
End of October my fork will be available under an organisational account, so that a team can maintain ssh-ident.
