GIT push whines about untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed

Viewed 7930

I'm new to both git and OSX, coming from Ubuntu and svn.

When I do a "git push" from the OSX terminal shell, I get the following warning:

folklore$ git push origin master
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Counting objects: 7, done.

It seems to be working fine, its just a warning. But I dont' understand it. Why is there any X11 in play here?

I've checked my .ssh/ keys and they are properly 600.

I guess I could just keep ignoring the warning, but I'd rather clean it up. And perhaps learn a bit.
