That's very interesting. So even if fetchgit would work with ssh I still 
wouldn't know how to provide keys in an elegant way. So under these 
circumstances, I wouldn't be that interested in fixing fetchgit anymore.

(I generally wonder how to deal with secrets when using nix/nixos/nixops, 
but that's stuff for another thread, I guess.)

Thanks for your insight.
