    Unfortunately populateFields is not called in every case. Most importantly when the repository URL is being copied from github/gitlab where the ssh:// prefix is just missing from the URL. Probably I could raise a bug on that. And mark this line as a workaround in the code, till it gets fixed. I feel the fix would be a bit out of the trivial category.

> I guess it is more common to use {{id_rsa}} keys nowadays than {{id_dsa}}. Whenever I clone a repository that I use with ssh, I need to click on private key authentication then browse, and the browse select {{id_dsa}} which I do not have and I have to select my {{id_rsa}} file and close.
> It would be much nicer to pre-fill the input field with the user's {{id_rsa}} or {{id_dsa}} whatever they have ({{id_rsa}} preferred).
> Also this could be done on Windows (where {{id_dsa}} not selected in the Open File dialog) as well as several Windows Git client uses {{%HOME%\.ssh\id_rsa}} as default.
