That did not work when any of the identities in  ~/.ssh matched. Though
I specifically told jgit to use an identity that should not work, it found another
that did. During setup all identities are loaded and made available to JSch.

That bug is not related to this code (so I pushed it) other than it made it tricky
to test. OpenSSH only tries the identity I tell it to, or default  if not told.
