Ignore the one I sent 12 hours ago: it was still DSA though with more bits. I just sent new RSA 4096 bits, and rechecked that *is* RSA.

This manual key management is yet another reason why we are going to get
a new development process /somehow/ in 2016.

After thinking about it, I realized that auto accepting any key sent by just anyone is not a good idea either. To you, my email address is my id.

Fortunately, next release is at least 2 weeks off.

    My new one got installed about 11 hours ago, so someone is watching
    sometimes ;-)

    Alas, SSH-related error messages are atrocious.  Two things to check
    on your end:

    1. Make sure Pageant has loaded your new key.

It had, and said DSA...

    2. Make sure your `ssh` alias (probably set in your Mecurial.ini) also
        specifies your new key file.

    For #2, here's what's in my Merurial.ini now:

    ssh = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\lib\TortoisePlink.exe" -ssh -2 -C
    -i C:\Code\.ssh\newkey.ppk

Since I overwrote the old key file, the hg setting should be the same.
