Tried to push to an SMB remote directory. No SSH key needed or expected.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a remote repository from an SMB url, example "\mymachine.myhost.com\git\MyRepo"
2. Push to that repo.

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?

Yes, pushing to remote SMB repositories has worked in all versions up til 4.x

Workaround: I selected some random private key file in the remote repository window. After that I could push to the key-less SMB remote.
