We have PuTTY installed and use Pageant to manage keys, and the required key is already loaded. We've used the 'import project' wizard, and initialised git in our project workspace, and though egit becomes aware that the project is a git repository, there seem to be no menu items for associating an RSA key with a remote repository.

For git, I set the GIT_SSH environment variable to PuTTY's plink.exe location. I wonder if this might work with egit?
