[savannah-help-public] groff member, cannot clone git repo

[Peter Schaffter]

Hi.

I've been a contributing groff member for years.  After groff
recently switched from cvs to git, I am suddenly unable to access
the repo.

  git clone address@hidden:/srv/git/groff.git

returns

  Cloning into 'groff'...
  Permission denied (publickey).
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Thinking perhaps I needed a new public key, I generated one in the
usual way with ssh-keygen and copied ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to my
account (checking for spaces, linebreaks, etc).  No go.

  ssh -v address@hidden

returns

I'm no ssh or git expert, and am at a loss as to why what worked
flawlessly for a decade is broken.  Please help.
