[users at bb.net] Passwordless Git Repository

[Fernando Pando]

Hi Chris,

you can generate an ssh keypair for the user buildbot is running as, and
then add the public key as a "deployment key" to the git repo. with
multiple slaves, you can either add a unique keypair for each slave and
have multiple deployment keys in git repo, or push pre-generated keys to
the slaves as part of your automated buildbot deployment.  it is the
slave(s) that do the cloning, so they need the keys, not master.

ensure the correct perms on ssh keys, and use ssh url for the repo.
lastly, make sure your slaves have .ssh/known_hosts populated with host key
of your git server.  you can use ssh-keyscan for this.

cheers,
.nando
