title: Git/ssh problems on Windows (git bash)
body: <p>I'm trying to use git bash in windows to clone a repository from. I set up my public/private ssh keys and manage to connect to gitlab through ssh. However, when I want to clone a repository, I'm getting "authentication failed" messages from git. Debug logs follow: </p>
