Description

For SSH based authentication with private keys in the OpenSSH format the following error is being emitted: invalid privatekey: ...
This is due to the use of JGit 4.5.4 (https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/blob/c5eb2c187568809e0dc0ea9ac83031f1dcb5ad1a/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-git/maven-scm-provider-jgit/pom.xml#L53) which used JSch which lacks support for those private keys. JGit 5.2 comes with a new SSH implementation (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=520927) and should by that also support OpenSSH private keys.
