Thanks. My PuTTY was set up a long time ago, and works ever since,
with many VCSs and servers. I don't even remember anymore when did I
generate the keys which I use. And my sessions all include the
auto-login username, so there's no need to use the user name in the
hostname field.
The problem in this case, as I wrote later, was that git invokes plink
with the name of the server, but in a way that causes plink interpret
that as the name of a session. So for this to work, one needs to have
the session name be the exact copy of the server name. No other VCS I
have ever worked with, which includes CVS, bzr, and SVN, imposes this
restriction on the PuTTY session names.
This was revealed by using GIT_TRACE=1, a trick suggested by Andreas,
which shows the command(s) that git invokes. Renaming the session
fixed the problem.
An alternative is to use a slightly different URL instead of
git+ssh://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/emacs/elpa, one that includes
the username in it explicitly, which is what I was doing before I
understood the above.
