What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to get any file from a remote ssh repository on OS X 10.6.8

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of retrieving the files, I get:

% git annex get . 
get <filename> command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: ControlPersist
command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: ControlPersist
(not available) 
  Try making some of these repositories available:
    2efd46d2-0e32-11e2-95fe-f72f09c6615e -- office

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? % git annex version git-annex version: 3.20120925 local repository version: 3 default repository version: 3 supported repository versions: 3 upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2

I seems that this option is passed to SSH, but SSH is too old: OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb

Future builds of the standalone binary will default annex.sshcaching to false. done --Joey

Here's a workaround, which you can run in the local repository:

git config annex.sshcaching false
