gitolite and welcome message on ssh connection ?

[Sébastien Dionne]

I was reading a blog about gitolite and there is a step that I can't
reproduce on my installation, and I want to know if there a specific
config that need to be added.
http://www.sysadmin-fr.org/fr/book/export/html/288

The blog it's in french.. but the part that I'm interested is this

.ssh/config

host gitolite
user git
hostname serveurgit
port 22
identityfile ~/.ssh/gituser

dev@devstation:~/.ssh$ ssh gitolite
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
hello gituser, the gitolite version here is (unknown)
you have the following permissions:
R W monprojet-kitu
@ @ testing
Connection to serveurgit closed.


if I don't that on with my installation.. I only see

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

see "NOTE" at the bottom of bullet #1 here:
http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/ssh-troubleshooting.html#_basic_ssh_troubleshooting_for_the_admin

sorry that does not properly *explain* the problem, although
it has enough info to *guess*.

I just updated the docs; see
http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/report-output.html#_side_note_openssh_5_6

GOOD.  that's clear

However, starting with openssh 5.6, this won't work. ...

So now you have to use an explicit "info" command, (ssh git@server info) or add the -T option to ssh (ssh -T git@server).

good.  I'll put that on my tutorial.

thanks
