You shouldn't need a .ssh/config if you're using the defaults. If `ssh [email protected]` works but `git push` doesn't, that means git isn't using the same ssh binary. On windows that usually means that it's using putty instead, which is usually caused by that GIT_SSH variable. Were you using cygwin previous to git? If not, I'd recommend you try msysgit (without putty) instead. It seems to be simpler to work with, and easier to install.
