Add a Stop-SshAgent cmdlet

[haacked]

Posh-Git includes a Start-SshAgent cmdlet, but no corresponding Stop-SshAgent command.

Why would I need one? Well occasionally it seems SSH Agent gets in a state where it's running, but it's not supplying my credentials. So I end up having to supply my pass phrase.

I end up wanting to restart the agent, but I have to go into task manager and kill the process and then run the Start-SshAgent command.

I'd prefer to be able to run Stop-SshAgent and then start it again. Or perhaps even have a Restart-SshAgent command. :)

Could Start-SshAgent always kill existing agents first?

Well if the agent is running fine, I wouldn't want that to kill it because then I would have to enter my password again. For example, if I close my console, re-open it, my profile will attempt to start-sshagent, but if it's running, it might all be fine. Right?

On closer inspection, Stop-SshAgent already exists, contributed by @markembling: e212dfd

Closing this - please reopen if the existing Stop-SshAgent is not sufficient.
