What is strange is that GIT_SSH_COMMAND='/usr/bin/ssh -v' should not execute if we are just looking at an object path. It should be broken into '/usr/bin/ssh' and '-v' otherwise spawn* or exec* will not execute it. I'm still trying to understand why I can successfully do things like the following: $ GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/myid" git fetch on virtually any platform at my disposal (Windows, Ubuntu, MacOS, the older NonStop variant), and have that work with no problem. Somewhere after get_ssh_command(), the command is being interpreted it its parts either as a shell or something else (still trying to find that).
