git clone ssh:// does not work on windows

[fstx]

In M-x shell

c:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle>git clone ssh://fstx@mydomain.com/git/lisp
git clone ssh://fstx@s.mydomain.com/git/lisp
Cloning into 'lisp'...
Could not create directory '/home/fstxb/.ssh'.
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

c:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle>

To be portable, I think that the .ssh directory should be under the portacle directory.

Can you confirm the very same git command works for you from outside Portacle?

[fstx]

Using Git for Windows, version 2.26.0, it works.

Do you need a ssh host to test this? I can make an account for you on my server.

[hajovonta]

I see. Is it possible you are using two different git clients here?
What does which git say when you are issuing it in M-x shell?

[fstx]

Portacle on Windows comes with it's own git client.

c:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle>which git.exe
which git.exe
'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

c:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle>git --version
git --version

c:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle>where git.exe
where git.exe
C:\fstx\marg_hax\portacle\win\bin\git.exe
