in my case it would be only one system-user which has full access to
several repositories. At this time, the users which use that account,
have to give a password, which isn't that bad... it would be easier
and more secure for me, not to give a password, but ask the users for
the ssh pubkey..

[... how sshd operates ...]

You _could_ tell them to use the same -l option and log-in as
the same UNIX user with their own keys, though.  But that way
you cannot tell which developer pushed into the repository (of
course if you trust the commits, commit log message would say
the committer ident).

I think this (last) scenario would match my thoughts best :)

Exactly that was, what i was trying to do, although I couldn't tell git 
to send my identify-file. That was (more or less) my initial-question 
(howto do that, the ssh option -i) :)

You got a point which i haven't recognized, yet...

I really can't tell later on which developer pushed unless i trust the 
commit-messages. I will think about that.

So, how do i tell git to send my identity-file to sshd? And could I set 
an alias like in .git/remotes for that location / identity?

Thank you very much for your explanations and help.

Sincerly
