Hi Martin,

The machine serving "mitgcm.org" was upgraded a few weeks ago and it
resulted in a new SSH host key.  Please go into your

  /Users/mlosch/.ssh/known_hosts

file and delete all references to the following machines and IP
addresses:

  mitgcm.org
  dev.mitgcm.org
  forge
  forge.csail.mit.edu
  forge.lcs.mit.edu
  128.31.2.31

and that should clear it up.  The errors are probably occurring because
you have multiple entries with both names and IPs.

And you can always delete the entire .ssh/known_hosts file if you want a
quick fix!
