While reviewing the SSH keys I use with Continua I setup some for connecting to Bitbucket and GitHub.&nbsp; Why are the repository configuration different between the two types of repositories? It seems that Mecurial has a relatively easy SSH tab option, while Git requires more "server configuration" to get working.

Hi Jamie   
  
Git doesn’t use plink, it uses openssh which is included with git, and the way the ssh support is handled is completely different.
