I was off to play some music, but back on my computer,

git pull --verbose

still fails.

Here is what I did so far:

After Trevor's mail, I found out that I already *had* 
.ssh/config|id_rsa|id_rsa.pub etc.
due to some ssh connections to other servers a friend of mine created for me
(I was sitting next to him, but apparently he can type commands faster 
than I
could think, so I didn't understand what he was doing. Within seconds, 
he established
some secure connections to servers, and I never cared about this).

So I copied the contents of id_rsa.pub into the right place on the 
savanna web site,
and got a mail that it is accepted. Fine.

I changed the .git/config file again to match the description:

url = ssh://<username>@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond.git

(well, I inserted my *real* username in the line above!)

and tried the ssh connection with

git pull --verbose

but after two hours or so, I still get
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I don't understand what's wrong here.

Regards,

Marc
