Subject: Git silently broke push-options over ssh?
Message-ID: <4aef40f2-43f8-eab3-a840-6e76c8b4afbb@cs-ware.de>

Hi,

I'm using Git (for Windows) 2.33.1 and using push-options as described 
on <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/push_options.html> does not 
work any more (IIRC it used to work with Git 2.16 and 2.17).

If I understood 
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2018/05/introducing-git-protocol-version-2.html> 
correctly I have to enable the Git protocol version 2 and then the push 
options should work.

Now, when I try to use push options on Windows it does not work. I tried 
to debug it:

D:\TortoiseGit>set GIT_TRACE=2
D:\TortoiseGit>set GIT_SSH=ssh.exe
D:\TortoiseGit>set GIT_SSH_VARIANT=ssh
D:\TortoiseGit>set GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2
D:\TortoiseGit>git -c protocol.version=2 -c ssh.variant=ssh -c 
ssh.command=ssh push -v -o ci.skip origin master~23:testing
17:36:06.285346 exec-cmd.c:237          trace: resolved executable dir: 
C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin
17:36:06.285346 git.c:455               trace: built-in: git push -v -o 
ci.skip origin 'master~23:testing'
Pushing to gitlab.com:tortoisegit/tortoisegit.git
17:36:06.295270 run-command.c:666       trace: run_command: unset 
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS GIT_PREFIX; ssh.exe git@gitlab.com 
'git-receive-pack '\''tortoisegit/tortoisegit.git'\'''

As you can see, the "-o SendEnv" parameter not passed to ssh.exe and, 
therefore, I think the push option is not transferred to the server.

According to <https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3486> the 
reason is a commit that was shipped with Git 2.18 (in 2018):

<https://github.com/git/git/commit/1aa8dded3afff28d8f4c24a97b237a0d9e633173>

How to use push options with Git over SSH?
