Can't fetch from private-key authenticated Git repository

unknown

When I invoke Fetch, I'm getting following error:

RSA host key for IP address '1.2.3.4' not in list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I don't have any problems accessing this repository using SmartGit.

Please check your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. Is there an entry for it already? If so, it may be wrong, try deleting it and trying again.

I don't know why this would behave differently outside of SourceTree, unless the other apps are deliberately ignoring known_host fingerprint clashes, which is insecure.

I don't want to mess with command line. SmartGit asks me for the location of my private key file as well as the passphrase.

SSH automatically uses your private keys in ~/.ssh, there's absolutely no need for SourceTree to prompt for that - SmartGit only does because it's Java, which runs on platforms which don't support SSH natively, e.g. Windows. On the Mac, your SSH configuration is system-wide.

Please excuse, but my private key file definitely is NOT located within ~/.ssh because I don't use command line SSH. What steps do I need to do to tell the SSH client which is used by SourceTree where my private key file is located and what passphrase to use?
