Vscode-remote-release: Git clone failed. Bad configuration option: usekeychain

[JacksonKearl]

On MacOS, Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container fails if my local config has entries that linux doesn't understand. For instance, the GitHub-suggested default of:

Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Will cause the clone stage to fail with the above error.

Possibly related to work in cloning the local ssh over to the remote in #1980?

I had a similar issue with git clone.
Fixeb by adding to the first line of the file:
IgnoreUnknown AddKeysToAgent,UseKeychain

Adding this under "Host *" is not effective.

Is this still a problem? We no longer mount .ssh/config into the container.
