Here is how I solve this issue. I was using Babun(mintty.exe) on Win7/10. When I have tried many solutions mentioned above, and none of them works. I realized maybe I just used wrong ssh agent...

Note 1: You can execute it in babun directly also
Note 2: You if you use bash then the config file is .bashrc

export GIT_SSH=$(which ssh)

And It works!
