Thanks for the suggestion. I tried:

    url = git://git@github.com/jekor/haskell-sscgi.git;

This was the result:

fatal: Unable to look up git at github.com (port 9418) (Name or service not 
known)

So I tried

    url = git://github.com/jekor/haskell-sscgi.git;

, which works, great! (I get another error message based on a missing 
Setup.hs, but that's an easy fix.)

Omitting the username does not seem to work for bitbucket, though. Nixops 
just hangs after initializing the git repo. I guess, github has 'git' set as 
the default user.
