SSH Forward Agent is ignored

[mdab121]

My private repository is cloned from gitlab via ssh. We don't add server keys to gitlab as deploy keys – we use ssh ForwardAgent (which is configured in ~/.ssh/config). However, Flock ignores this setting.

This is a little tricky -- as far as I know, libssh2 doesn't implement ForwardAgent. I'll be exploring alternatives soon

It's done somehow in Capistrano. Do you need help with this? 😊

[jakeheis]

Absolutely I'd really appreciate help! As far as I can tell it's possible in Capistrano because Capistrano is built on SSHKit which is in turn built on NetSSH which is a complete reimplementation of SSH, not just Ruby bindings to libssh2. NetSSH implements agent forwarding, but libssh2 does not, so we'll have to figure something else out for Flock
