Set GIT_SSH environment variable to the full path of TortoisePlink.exe (you may have to download TortoiseGit for this) instead of PuTTY's plink.exe. This will allow for popup dialog window to prompt for things, i.e., confirm fingerprint, or enter password. If you use plink.exe through Git, you cannot type in responses to plink.exe prompts, which if there are any prompts will cause the fatal error you saw.
