Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
- Search the existing issues.
Steps to reproduce
.gitignore contains ssh-agent in line 28, which ignores contrib/win32/win32compat/ssh-agent/. That folder is included in the repository, and necessary to build ssh-agent.vcxproj. Was this intended?
Expected behavior
All projects are built correctly.
Actual behavior
When pushing the repository to a different remote, `contrib/win32/win32compat/ssh-agent/` is ignored. Building the solution after cloning from such remote results in several C1083 errors, for example:
`C1083 Cannot open source file: '(...)\contrib\win32\win32compat\ssh-agent\agent-main.c': No such file or directory`

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by inspecting line 28 of .gitignore and the tracked files under contrib/win32/win32compat/ssh-agent/. Confirm how the ignore entry affects ssh-agent.vcxproj, then verify that cloning to another remote and building the solution no longer produces the reported C1083 missing-source errors.
