Created attachment 116537 [details] messages When I try to clone remote repository git@gitorious.org:tdd-experiments/tdd-02.git, NetBeans does not go to step "Remote branches" and shows the following error message: "git@gitorious.org:tdd-experiments/tdd-02.git: invalid privatekey: C:\Users\Wissenstein\keystore\wissenstein-gmail-com.ppk". When I do it wiht TortoiseGit, the repository is cloned with the same ssh key successfully. Please fix it. Please find attached messages.log
> C:\Users\Wissenstein\keystore\wissenstein-gmail-com.ppk is probably not in OpenSSH format, which is the only format supported. Export your PK to OpenSSH format. Some info about exporting can be found here: http://leadingedgescripts.co.uk/server-administration/how-to-convert-your-putty-ppk-private-key-to-a-normal-ssh-key-you-can-use-on-an-apple-mac/
Yes, really. After I have converted the private key to OpenSSH format, I succeed to connect with the remote repository. I think, it is worth mentioning in Git User Guide (http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/git.html) that the user must ensure that the private key he uses has OpenSSH format. Thank you!

The following note added after step 4 in the Cloning a Repository from GitHub via SSH protocol section (http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/git.html#github): The OpenSSH private key format is required. Keys generated by PuTTYgen for Windows must be converted to the OpenSSH format before using them in the IDE.
