• [x] Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

1. On machine running OpenSSH server, install Git Bash and set DefaultShell for OpenSSH Server to the path of Git Bash (on my machine, I used D:\Programs\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe).
2. On another machine, connect to the OpenSSH server with ssh -T <host_address>.

I am attempting to use VS Code Remote-SSH to connect from my laptop to my desktop (running OpenSSH). This fails to connect. The underlying command being used is ssh -T <host_address>. I have configured OpenSSH to use DefaultShell to be Git Bash. Note: clearing this makes it work though now when I need to ssh into my desktop I need to manually run bash.

Expected behavior

> ssh -T <address>
echo hi<C-d>
hi

Actual behavior

> ssh -T <address>
