Unsure about GIT ssh behaviour

[Kizito Birabwa <kbirabwa yahoo co uk>]

Hello freinds,

I am starting out with my GIT account and would like some advice on how to make it work properly. Some of the output does not match what the GIT HowTo leads me to expect.

The HowTo says that I aught to see something of this nature:

$ ssh -v MYUSERNAME git gnome org
...
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG = en_GB.UTF-8
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0
SSH authentication succeeded. Interactive login is not allowed.

What I actually get stops one line after the 'entering interactive session.' ::

Is this OK or have I missed some step?
