I've read the impressions and the official release. Has anyone
noticed if the SCM over SSH works now? It had bad problems with

I use CVS over SSH all the time, so I'd say it always worked :-)
Hope you filed a bug relating to your configuration.
Yes, but as far as I know, it was well known. My bug report #4365259
was this:
``Summary:
XCode's SCM features SSH tunneling options, but it is known not to
work without ssh_agent. In secure environments ssh_agent is not so
recommended. XCode should ask a password for normal users with SCM/
SSH, and in high security environments like kerberized ones, no
password should provided, since OSX has an excellent support for
Single Sign On (SSH is passwordless thanks to GSSAPI). Without
ssh_agent XCode is unable to authenticate even providing the right
password.
Steps to reproduce:
Use SCM over SSH (CVS or Subversion).
Expected results:
Password dialog and working authentication, or no password at all if
SSO is working (e.g. GSSAPI)
Actual results:
Password dialog appears, any password returns an authentication
failure even when SSO should be working.''
And was tagged as Duplicate. XCode 2.3 *STILL* cannot handle ssh-
based systems without ssh_agent, which is pretty useless when dealing
with SSO environments (e.g. kerberos-based networks).
It's pretty annoying, since ssh works flawlessly withing a terminal,
I can ssh to a host, cvs any action via ssh, do whatever I want just
because of ssh/kerberos.
What should I do? Reopen a bug? File another one?
