I tried to use sshwindows too. You can configure the shell in the passwd file : this is cygwin related so to configure the git shell your path start with /cygdrive/c/ Program Files/Git/... But I don't know exactly on what it should point. May be cmd/git.cmd but I didn't get the whole thing to work. I was never able to view or clone a repository. The authorized_keys is in the sshwindows(openSSH) etc folder. Your public key is normally in your home directory but I think msysgit search the ssh key somewhere in git folder.
This is some tips. I tried other ssh server but none seem to work.
