EUREKA!

Apparently, you can use plink as the main ssh client and just load your keys in pageant (if you're like me, you already do):

You can do that by setting the GIT_SSH env variable to plink.exe path like so:

set GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe

or, you can use plink from TortoiseGit:

set GIT_SSH=c:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePLink.exe
