No, it does not and I'm not sure how that could be expected to work -
ssh needs a user & authorisation. Which ssh user is this expected to be
doing the clone? How does this get configured at the remote repository?

Cloning a git repo using ssh is typically for read:write
operations to allow git push and similar. That is not something
LAVA is likely to be doing. There are also security implications of
allowing a LAVA test shell to have SSH credentials with third party
sites.

What are you trying to achieve? With the example given, git.linaro.org
offers http and https. Are you confusing this with the ssh operations
used for the hacking session itself? That is your user and your private
key authorising against your public key which needs to be included in
the job submission.

If what you want is some level of encryption to guard against packet
sniffing, https is what you want.
