So how can I achieve this?
This is not something I have tried myself, but a quick glance at the online manual page for layman shows a git+ssh example (under "Overlay lists format") - the source type is still "git", "git+ssh" is only in the protocol/scheme part of the URL, so perhaps it needs to be something like: <source type="git">git+ssh://myserver/path/to/repo.git</source> -- (Apologies if this is not helpful,) Nuno Silva
