Hi again, I hope this replies to the right thread.
I forgot to say I'm using Mintty. When it asks me for my passphrase it asks me from the Mintty console I ran the "git gui" command from. Two things happen here, my passphrase is displayed as I type it and when I quit the git-gui, only every other key typed appears. I tried to use it the regular Cygwin shell and it works better. Instead of the passphrase prompt coming in the shell it comes up in a Tk dialog box. But this time it successfully accepts my passphrase and authenticates. But it still won't use ssh-agent.
