2.1.0

Bug description

The bundle fragment https://github.com/eclipse-jgit/jgit/blob/master/org.eclipse.jgit.ssh.apache.agent provides support for communicating with an SSH agent. This should be included in the JGit provider to allow leveraging keys from SSH agents.

Unfortunately this has been introduced with JGit 6 (requiring Java 11): https://github.com/eclipse-jgit/jgit/commit/634302d2da74226cff9f78e121ad5b8216c476e6
