I think this (last) scenario would match my thoughts best :)

Exactly that was, what i was trying to do, although I couldn't tell git to send my identify-file. That was (more or less) my initial-question (howto do that, the ssh option -i) :)

You got a point which i haven't recognized, yet...

I really can't tell later on which developer pushed unless i trust the commit-messages. I will think about that.

So, how do i tell git to send my identity-file to sshd? And could I set an alias like in .git/remotes for that location / identity?

Thank you very much for your explanations and help.

Sincerly Nicolas
