Fair enough.  I try to look out for your emails, but don't be mad at me if 
I miss one.

"git remote" will not really work on a remote repository.  It will work on 
the tracking branches associated with a remote repository.

And if you have a new-enough Git, "git remote rm csorensen" will just 
remove the tracking branches and the settings in the config, just as you 
wanted.

You said that you gave a password when creating the private/public key 
pair.  So this is expected.  The difference should be that this time, it 
is not repo.or.cz aking you for the password, but ssh for the private key.

Unfortunately, you did not paste any output, so I cannot tell.

With slogin, repo.or.cz should tell you that it is not a login shell:

$ slogin address@hidden
fatal: What do you think I am? A shell?
                                       Connection to repo.or.cz closed.

As I said, I think that this is another password you are asked for.  In 
general, I do not give my private keys (that I use only on very few, 
trusted machines) password, so that I am spared that hassle.

Looks obviously correct.

Likewise.

Try the password you gave when creating the ssh keys.  That should work.
