Description

(I'm on Ubuntu 14.04) I have multiple private keys in my ~/.ssh folder, but also one with the default name (id_rsa). When running ./gradlew prepare, gnome-keyring asks for the password for those SSH keys, while they are irrelevant for the git repository I'm using this plugin for. I deny to pass the passwords for those keys, after which the gradle task fails with:

Problem fetching from remote.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with this plugin or with the grgit plugin?

Research direction

Start by reproducing ./gradlew prepare on Ubuntu 14.04 with multiple private keys in ~/.ssh and gnome-keyring enabled. Trace the “Problem fetching from remote” failure through the release plugin and its grgit interaction, then determine whether the plugin or grgit is responsible and verify that unrelated key prompts no longer cause the task to fail.
