[chef] Re: Git "nonexistent/.ssh" issue

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

The problem isn't on the server end, at least not at first, the problem is your client can't cache the ssh host key of the server. You need to resolve that for it to communicate with the server, or your client will consider it untrusted.

Okay, so I've abandoned using Mercurial and converted repo to Git.
I'm using git from within the Application cookbook, which uses scm.

Looks like it fails because it can't create the file and dir for the user it is running as (presumably root).
Any idea how to fix that?

I'm getting my deploy_key from a data bag.  Just to confirm -- the deploy_key is the ascii representation of the key, not a file path, right?
