It appears as though the unfuddle SSH server fingerprint has changed sometime in the last few days. I just wanted to double check that this was expected:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
a6:74:33:36:95:31:6e:a6:d7:71:87:b8:3c:38:e2:60.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/xxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /Users/xxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts:21
RSA host key for xxxxx.unfuddle.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Nate,

Yes, I can confirm that our host keys were changed over the weekend (Saturday afternoon EST). As such, you will need to remove the existing entry from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.

I apologize for the confusion. This is certainly not something that happens regularly so your skepticism is justified.

Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks for the reply, Joshua. I didn’t expect it was a big deal, but wanted to raise a small concern, just in case! :)
