SmartGIT does not ask for ssh key

git authentication ssh key smartgit

after switching over to a new computer I had to install SmartGIT for Windows again and now try to clone my fedorahosted.org-repository. Keys are stored C:/User/myusername/.ssh, SmartGIT comes with a clean installation and URL for cloning my repository is correct - unfortunately SmartGIT does NOT ask for the key, it just tries to connect to fedorahosted.org but then of course fails.

So...what could be wrong here? Where do I have to place my ssh keys so that SmartGIT finds and uses it?
