Fetch via SSH, but keep connection open [message #1863564]

Hi all, I am using JGit in an Android app and it works well.

I am looking for a way to run a fetch command over SSH and then leave the connection open, instead of immediately disconnecting. I often want to do a push very soon afterwards, and negotiating a new SSH session takes time. If the session was not closed by the Transport code, I would be able to reuse it.

SSH multiplexing would probably solve this, but I can't find any indication that the Apache MINA SSHD library supports it. Does anyone know for sure?

If I could override the SshTransport implementation of close(), I would, but I don't know a good way to do that. It seems I would need to recreate so many utility functions. But my experience with Java is very limited.

Does anyone have pointers on a good way to solve this? Thank you very much in advance.

I solved it by defining my own SshSessionFactory with overrides for methods releaseSession() and getSession(). I then used AutoCloseable and try-with-resources to persist this SshSessionFactory for as long as I need it.
