SSH keys have never worked for https. You have to authenticate in
other ways, like authentication tokens. But saying that private
repos *require* ssh transport is not true.

See for instance https://gist.github.com/technoweenie/1072829 for
how to use ~/.netrc to do this in non-interactive environments
like OE (or when you just can't stand having to enter your
password over and over).
