Apache MINA SSHD is now the standard SSH transport library for JGit. It supports more modern key algorithms than Jsch. This is my implementation attempt. It uses a .ssh directory in the app's private storage for storing "known hosts" information.
I hope to look into generating the SSH private key on the device shortly.
I have added a notification prompt to the user upon new or changed SSH server host key. I am probably doing this completely wrong, but it seems to work.
N.B. Currently requires API >= 26, but I suspect that would be easy to fix for someone who actually knows Java and Android.
