Hmm, that's very strange. The message you're seeing is because 'git
pull' is trying to use SSH to connect to the git repository, but it
shouldn't be doing this unless you initially connected to it over SSH.
Basically, what you're seeing is that it's attempting to use your SSH
key for identity. I'm not really sure how you got into this state.
You're correct that you should be able to do a git pull trivially.
