Research direction
Start by reading the linked upstream report libgit2/libgit2#4289 and downstream report tgstation/tgstation-server#96 to understand the expected SSH authentication behavior. Trace how libgit2sharp accepts SSH key inputs, then verify that authentication succeeds when only a private key is supplied and that existing key handling remains covered.
