I want to figure which SSH client is used by git commands when running git bash on windows. Is there any git command I can run that will display the ssh client path?

ssh git

With a recent enough git version, you can use trace2 to display what Git is trying to do:

GIT_TRACE2=1 git clone git@github.com:<me>/<myrepo>
GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=1 git clone git@github.com:<me>/<myrepo>

You can also set the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable to ssh (including its full path) if you want to make sure which SSH client is used.
