[Savannah-help-public] Host key verification failure

[Mark Polesky]

I'm a GNU LilyPond developer on Windows XP. Last week my SSH
keys apparently stopped working. My lilypond/.git/config file
contains this:

[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/lilypond.git
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master


My .ssh/config file is:

Host sv
Hostname 199.232.41.69
User mpolesky


and my .ssh/known_hosts file has:

199.232.41.69 ssh-rsa AAAA....


When I do "git pull" I get:

$ git pull
The authenticity of host 'git.sv.gnu.org (199.232.41.69)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 80:5a:b0:0c:ec:93:66:29:49:7e:04:2b:fd:ba:2c:d5.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? no
Host key verification failed.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly


And this is the output of "ssh -v":

I've already re-installed git and OpenSSH, the above results are
after re-installation. Everything was going fine and then suddenly
stopped, and I haven't been able to push for a week, and nobody can
figure this out.

Is there any hope?
