I guess I'm looking for more information, for instance you don't mention 
what package you're working with! The svn user formerly known as j.meys 
is associated with packages/unifiedWMWqPCR, and with the public key 
starting with

   ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCoPGY+EOzCkrmxQ6CJS9r4PH...

maybe you could confirm that the remote you've added is correct by reporting

    git remote -a

and that you can check out the repository directly

   cd /tmp
   git clone git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/unifiedWMWqPCR

to confirm that the ssh key exchange is working correctly.

A possible problem is that you have several ssh keys on your machine, 
and git is using the wrong one. On linux (what operating system are you 
on?) one could edit ~/.ssh/config to contain an entry like

   Host git.bioconductor.org
   	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_corresponding_to_submitted_key.pub

In a bash shell you can see the ssh exchange with

   GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" git pull

which toward the top might indicate where it fails to find the correct 
ssh key.

You can also use the form https://goo.gl/forms/97Cf3zFgyQwG76lw1 to 
submit additional ssh keys (1 per request); these requests are processed 
'by hand' so involve a lag of about 24 hours.
