As far as I know, we don't use bare git system, we are using 
gitoliate or something.

authorization is based only on keys,
you should always use "git" as login
and in your ssh_config you have:

I'm not sure what is more important ssh_config or command line params
but maybe adding something like this will help:
  Host git.kde.org
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Probably before 'host *.kde.org' <- this I'm not 100% sure.
