I've used pageant.exe, bzr didn't quick pick it up. I installed openSSH for windows and did also sorts of jumping through hoops based on all sorts of google searching I did.
I then renamed my public key to id_rsa and then copied it to the .ssh. the bzr+ssh prompted me for the password:
Enter passphrase for key '/home/Craig Hewetson/.ssh/id_rsa:
I then typed it in and it spent some time doing something (busy indication would be nice)
It then spat out this:

Unable to obtain lock bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/%7Ecraighewetson/bzr-eclipse/craig_dev/.bzr/repository/lock
held by <my email address> on host craig [process #2292]
locked 28 minutes, 49 seconds ago
Will continue to try until 23:28:39

bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "LockDir(bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/%7Ecraighewetson/bzr-eclipse/craig_dev/.bzr/repository/l
ock)"

So it seems i managed to authenticate myself using ssh etc (so thats fine).
I suppose I inadvertently locked some file on the server. I did try this after I logged off from launchpad and restart my machine, and still got the problem.

Look the latest problem isn't related to the "bug" (#216924) and I will sort this locking problem later.

Since it seems I can connect via the push bzr+ssh command, I'm happy and therefore I won't be following up on this bug's progress (I will still read the comments etc).

If the lock persists tomorrow etc then I will probably log that as a separate bug/case.
