[users at bb.net] Using SSH keys with GitPoller and Git step?

[Chris Spencer]

I don't understand. That looks like it's still storing a password in the
URL. Are you saying that SSH keys aren't currently supported by Buildbot in
any way?

In that case, is there any way to at least hide the output of the Git step,
so my password isn't recorded to the publicly visible Buildbot log?
