TortoiseGit fails on clone and push

Question

TortoiseGit fals on cloning and push cloned repo. I'm using ToroiseGit and msysgit. Using valid keys.

And console thing (git-cmd.bat) works correctly! But TortoiseGit does't, what's wrong?

fatal: 'myrepo' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.


git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128) (1734 ms @ 20.11.2013 2:26:18)

And in /var/log/auth.log I see:

Nov 20 05:36:06 myserver sshd[23529]: Accepted publickey for root from 22.228.217.4 port 52760 ssh2
Nov 20 05:36:06 myserver sshd[23529]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Nov 20 05:36:06 myserver sshd[23529]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root

Why root?

Answer 1

Keep it in mind, that if you use putty and TortoiseGit, and you have saved sessions in putty with username in url (root@myhost.com) - TortoiseGit will take this session and try to login as your user, except user that you set in repo-url.
