title: Git looking for my SSH key in the wrong location
body: <p>I've been having a bit of a head ache with trying to pull down a repository held in Gitlab. This is all done in Windows 8.1 on a Ubuntu VM by the way if that helps. I've added my public key in Gitlab and added my private key to ssh-agent ... all seems correct.</p>
  
  <p>When I try and do a git pull this is where I run in to issues. It seems to me that Git is simply looking in the wrong location, my private key is stored in c/Users/Neil/.ssh but it seems as if git is looking in c/Users/Neil/.ssh/342/200/217 ...</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Neil\code\homestead&gt;git pull
  no such identity: /c/Users/Neil/.ssh/id_rsa\342\200\217: No such file or directory
  git@git.mgmt.local's password:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've no idea why git would be looking there or am I thinking wrong about this? Can anyone shed some light on things for me?</p>
