screen shot

When you try to do a pull on a repository, you will be prompted for you user name / password or key / key file. If you select the 'Choose File' button on Mac OS you cannot pick a key file that is within a hidden file - file name that starts with a '.' - even if you have hidden files shown normally in Finder.

The attached screen shot shows the file chooser dialog from the 'Choose File' button on top and how Finder looks normally.
