Visual Studio Tools for Git

I wonder how this will work with SSH keys. I've been using Git Extensions (http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/) with VS 2010 for a while now and have been pretty happy with it, but it has taken a long time for the SSH key support to get to a usable place.

(Libgit2 contributer here.) Currently, SSH support is in-progress in libgit2 (what all of this is built on), so there is no dealing with keys right now. :) Once the API is in place, it should be fairly straightforward for the VS team to deal with keys in a user-friendly way.

I keep my privates in the .ssh folder within my user directory. TortoiseGit and Git look there. The only thing odd I have to do is use putty to convert the key to the format used by Tortoise.
