GitHub broke my scp

I set up git on my FreeBSD box so that I can commit my code to GitHub. Today I tried to scp some stuff over and I was met with this rather unhelpful message:

[email protected] ~/Projects/code
$ scp -r [email protected]:~/code/agnostic .
Password:
ps: Process environment requires procfs(5)
Initializing new SSH agent...

[email protected] ~/Projects/code
$

I fixed the procfs problem by adding the following to my /etc/fstab:

[sourcecode]
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
[/sourcecode]

and then running:

[email protected] ~
$ sudo mount /compat/linux/proc

[email protected] ~
$ sudo mount /proc  

So I try to scp again and I get:

[email protected] ~/Projects/code
$ scp -r [email protected]:~/code/agnostic .
Password:
Initializing new SSH agent...

[email protected] ~/Projects/code
$

WTF? Then I remembered making some changes to my .bashrc to be able to commit to github:

[sourcecode]
function start_agent {
echo "Initializing new SSH agent..."
/usr/bin/ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "${SSH_ENV}"
echo succeeded
chmod 600 "${SSH_ENV}"
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
/usr/bin/ssh-add;
}

# Source SSH settings, if applicable
if [ -f "${SSH_ENV}" ]; then
. "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
#ps ${SSH_AGENT_PID} doesn't work under cywgin
ps -ef | grep ${SSH_AGENT_PID} | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
start_agent;
}
else
start_agent;
fi
[/sourcecode]

I pulled all that out of my .bashrc and made a separate shell script for it. After I did that, scp started working again. I had no idea that calling scp would actually run .bashrc
