ssh-askpass on Mac OS X

Got a lot of errors like:

ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

while I was using subversion in BBEdit trying to update my working copy.

Well, actually I don’t have ssh-askpass in that path, and I don’t know here I can get it. But lately I found I successfully update my working copy using Versions or Cornerstone. BTW they are all good applications with great UI. So I digged into Cornerstone’s content folder and found that it has a helper application inside called “SSHAskPass”. How wonderful~! Immedially I created a symbolic link using ln -s /Applications/Cornerstone.app/Contents/Helpers/SSHAskPass.app/Contents/MacOS/ssh-askpass ssh-askpass in /usr/libexec.

Works perfect in BBEdit now.
