clone via ssh with passphrase prompt doesn't work

[Jason Stewart]

Try using pageant. It prompts for your key and holds it until you close pageant.

Subject: clone via ssh with passphrase prompt doesn't work

Hi All,

I'm only able to clone my local repository to a remote server via ssh
if I use -pw option. When I use the -i option, I get:

C:\hg_clone_to_remote>hg -v clone . ssh://joe@192.168.0.4/remote_clone_test
running plink.exe -ssh -i "C:\Documents and
Settings\jturpin\id_rsa.pkk" -C joe at 192.168.0.4"hg init
remote_clone_test"
Passphrase for key "rsa-key-20080706":
running "plink.exe -ssh -i "C:\Documents and
Settings\jturpin\id_rsa.pkk" -C joe at 192.168.0.4 "hg -R
remote_clone_test serve --stdio""
interrupted!
remote: ^C

My key file has a passphrase and I don't want to create one without;
call me paranoid. I did a quick search in the bug list, but didn't
find anything. There doesn't seem to be a way to search the archives
either, but a quick google search yielded nothing. Any ideas? Oh yeah,
this is from a Windows client(1.0.1+20080525) to a Linux
server(0.9.1). Also the init seems to work (I see .hg directory), but
data directory is empty.

Thanks for the help,
Joe
