I personally prefer to use SourceTree on mac & windows, and only use the 
command line on linux, where SourceTree isn't available. In SourceTree, you go 
to Tools / Options, select SSH Key, enable checkbox to automatically start SSH 
agent (pageant) when windows starts, and manually launch once via Tools /  
Launch SSH Agent.

Bada bing, bada boom. Easy, done, move on with your life.

Otherwise, you'll face some difficulties - You mentioned msysgit - Are you 
trying to run git from the command line without using cygwin? There are some 
complexities / incompatibilities, where I think msysgit is required for 
tortoisegit, but msysgit is I think incompatible with the cygwin git package.

If you use the cygwin git package, you can configure ssh keys and everything 
exactly like a linux client.

HTH - Let us know if you're still going to dig further into this...
