Use a "fake host".

Ie, let's say that your project is "project@host.com", then make each user just have in their .ssh/config:

	host project.host.com
		User project
		HostName host.com
		IdentityFile /home/myhome/project-key

and there you are. Just use "project.host.com:repo-name" as the thing you pull and push from.

(Yeah, I forget the exact ssh config file format, so you should double-check that.)
