Ok, I found the problem. The firewall at work was blocking the windows
machine I was using to access gitlab. I now have it working fine from
git bash (still not from powershell, but I can work on that later).
cheers,

I am wondering what the magic is to make this work. I have
downloaded mysysgit and installed it. Set up a local repository
with no problems. The problem comes when I try to connect to
gitlab. I create the keys ok and add them to gitlab, but no matter
what I do on the windows machine, I get just errors like:fatal:
protocol error: bad line length character: No s
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...
