Description of the issue

When trying to load the ssh agent by uncommenting the line in user-profile.cmd :

• call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-pageant.cmd"

The agent load in a sub ms-dos context and I'm not able to use ssh-add to add my keys.
Typing exit makes the sub context to be closed and then I get my keys loaded.

Investigation :

Below is the difference between previous and current default configuration

If I use the previous configuration, everything works as expected

Same kind of behavior is also when using start-ssh-agent.cmd

• call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd"
  Keys are initialised but on that "ms-dos console" there is no color in prompt and git branch is not shown at all. When exiting this console, branch is shown.

Adding that -new_console parameter does not help.

I have the same, bad behaviour.

Have a look at #1807 and #1781

call "%GIT_INSTALL_ROOT%/cmd/start-ssh-agent.cmd" /k exit is what current versions of cmder has in user_profile.cmd
