* feature-request: silently stops ssh-agent.exe when upgrading (windows) @ 2022-12-15 8:38 Jean-Michel MERCIER 2022-12-16 0:42 ` brian m. carlson 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Jean-Michel MERCIER @ 2022-12-15 8:38 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git Hello I've looked in the public-inbox archive without finding any similar request. I believe it is a bit annoying that upgrading git-scm always generates an error when ssh-agent.exe is still running. User than have to open the Task Manager, find the task and kill it. Could you consider silently stopping ssh-agent during an upgrade, and may be restarting it afterward ? Most installer do that or at least offer the user to do it to allow seamless upgrading. Thanks for considering. All the best and good end of the year. Best regards Jean-Michel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The Git project doesn't distribute any binaries at all, and it doesn't distribute OpenSSH. It distributes source code for Git, and that's all. It sounds like you're using Git for Windows, which does distribute binaries, both of Git and OpenSSH. If you have feedback for them, you'll probably want to use their issue tracker (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues) and, if it hasn't already been reported, you can request a change there. -- brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Toronto, Ontario, CA [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 263 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
