As this is a private repository, hudson is unable to connect as the ssh-key used is using a paraphrase for authenticating, since there is no way to insert the authentication key hudson fails.

However, before trying the step below - cf - Jenkins can not clone Git repository over Git/SSH on Windows . The same question asked in stackoverflow, the user had success using git.cmd rather than git.exe on hudson, can you also try the same.

If that does not resolve, please try by removing the paraphrase from your ssh-key and retrying. cf - http://www.lucasward.net/2011/05/tips-for-connecting-to-github-private.html

Finally, an alternative method using hooks - http://fourkitchens.com/blog/2011/09/20/trigger-jenkins-builds-pushing-github
