Currently, when you have no ssh keys set up in your system, git.clone sits there and goes in an infinite loop trying to grab credentials. Investigation into how to throw an error message in this case is needed.

For those who find this to be the case. Double check to make sure that you have added your ssh key to your ssh agent. An example of how to do so (even if it's id_rsa or the like) is over at github's help

Thank you @generalredneck. I posted this ticket a few months ago and could never figure out why it hanged.

Now it works!

@generalredneck Marking this as a bug.

We can do something like ssh-add -l to get the keys that are added to the ssh-agent. Then ask the user to verify that the keys added to the agent are their keys.

Executing ssh-addand then verifying the identity was added with ssh-add -l fixed my issue.
