One is unable to get gssapi-with-mic over kerberos, or plian gssapi over kerberos authentication working with the java-ssh libraries.  There are external ssh binaries availaible which do so, and the GIT_SSH environment variable is the documented method for using such an external ssh executable.

In general, there will always be *some* obscure authentication method that the java SSH library does not support, but for which an executable exists in a users environment, so the ability to use GIT_SSH to specify an external ssh executable is desparately needed, along the lines of CVS_RSH and SVN_SSH, all
of which work with Eclipse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set GIT_SSH in the environment
2.Use eclipse to attempt to clone a git repository with a git+ssh://... uri

Note that the GIT_SSH you set is not used.
