yup. paramiko can't do ssh agent forwarding, which sucks and will
hopefully be remedied at some point, either by them or us.

The other part of the puzzle is that Fab can only currently detect
sudo prompts, so when git falls back to its password prompt, things
fall down. So there's no easy way to use Git with Fabric right now
other than using anonymous Git instead of Git-over-SSH (git:// vs
git@).

This is a pain point for me too so hopefully we'll have one or both
issues worked out for 0.9.x or 1.0 at the latest.
