Bug with SSH keys loaded into ssh-add

Hello everyone,

I've recently encountered a bug/issue while using Git for Windows. You can load a passphrase-secured SSH key into the ssh agent using ssh-add. As long as the key is loaded into the ssh agent, you don't have to enter the passphrase when using the key. However, when I do git pull or something similar, Git still prompts me for the passphrase.

This is the Git version I'm using: git --version git version 2.47.0.windows.2

Best Regards, Jacob P.
