We're having issues with the version of SSH included in git version 1.8.1.msysgit.1 (Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe)

The included version of SSH is from 2007:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin - Old>ssh -V OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

Updating the OpenSSH component (downloaded with Cygwin, cumbersome!!!) resolves the issue:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>ssh -V OpenSSH_6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

Is there any way you can incorporate this update in the installer?
Thanks,
