From: Maciej Małecki Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:39:17 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Use SSH key from `GIT_SSH_KEY` variable if supplied Message-ID: <1332207557-10965-1-git-send-email-me@mmalecki.com> Using a different SSH key for various SSH commands seems to be a recurring theme. Allow user to supply path to the SSH key he wants to use for operations that require it without need to use `GIT_SSH` variable and a wrapper script.
