You can change the remote with `git remote set-url`. SVN has only one
URL AFAIK, but git can configure a different one depending on the
direction:
$ git remote -v
origin https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark (fetch)
origin ssh://Lekensteyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:29418/wireshark (push)
To change the fetch URL, you can use this command:
git remote set-url origin https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark
To set the push URL, use this instead:
git remote set-url --push origin ssh://...
Verify with `git remote -v`.
Now you can fetch changes without having to unlock your SSH key.
Kind regards,
Peter
