[bug] git 2.6.2 (64-bit) blocks keyboard input (running in RDP, Win7 x64)

     Hi,

I'm trying to run something like this (on the remote machine (Win7 x64 with git 2.6.2 64-bit) through RDP): ``` git pull --tags --progress ssh://<username>@<repo_URL>:<tcp_port>/<repo_name> +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ``` It worked on local machine with git 1.9.5.

Git asks to confirm an action: ``` The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You have no guarantee that the server is the computer you think it is. The server's dss key fingerprint is: ssh-dss 1024 <...> If you trust this host, enter "y" to add the key to PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting. If you want to carry on connecting just once, without adding the key to the cache, enter "n". If you do not trust this host, press Return to abandon the connection. Store key in cache? (y/n) ``` I'm typing `y`, but there is no reaction at all. No symbols appears in the console. But... When I'm pressing `Ctrl+C`, it's killed. And I can see `yyyyy` keys in the bash console for the next command.

On-screen keyboard didn't help as well.

I've already tried several combinations of `MinTTY` and `Windows cmd.exe` check boxes in the installer. Nothing helped. It looks like a bug in Git client.

Best regards, -Vasily.
