Description Carolyn MacLeod

Tried to fetch when I only had rsa keys (tried both github and gerrit).
Error message was something like "could not extract public key out of private key" or something like that.
Generated a dsa key, added it to gerrit, and that worked.

Tried extracting the key manually using:
ssh-keygen -y -f gerrit_rsa
and that seemed to work (same key, except that the original gerrit_rsa.pub had my email address appended to the key after a space)

By the way, sync was failing silently. I didn't realize there was an error until I used fetch. I could open another bug for this, except that it might be useful to investigate it while you are testing this failure.  :)

I just generated a pair of rsa keys and they work fine. So there is something special about your keys or some fix went in nodegit/libgit2. Please could you try your keys again?

Carolyn's keys are working as well. Closing.
