Description
Hey,
libgit v1.8.0 introduced OpenSSH support.
This allows libgit to automatically find ssh keys and respect the ssh config which libssh2 does not (see https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/5640).
Are there any plans on enabling OpenSSH support in pygit2?
In my mind this is as simple as setting $USE_SSH="exec" in build.sh.
Thank you

Research direction
Start with build.sh and inspect how the USE_SSH setting is handled for the libgit2 build. Compare the available SSH backends with libgit2 v1.8.0's OpenSSH support; done means pygit2 builds with OpenSSH enabled and the setting is reflected in the project configuration.
