Of course not.  I consider your help wonderful; I would never be mad.
I'm grateful for the time you spend with me.

I have obtained a newer git, and it works as you say.  Thanks
for pointing out that a newer git would solve the problem.

I didn't paste the output because it was identical to before.  Once
repo.or.cz comes up (it's been down all day), I'll try again.

Nope -- I got the same answer; asked me for a password.   The password I
used to create the public key didn't work.  But it's nice to have the output
I should expect when my ssh key is working properly.  Thanks!
