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 () code wireshark org: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
