This is what I do (I don't have two accounts on github, but
elsewhere; same idea though)
# this goes in ~/.ssh/config
host gh1
user git
hostname github.com
identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_1
host gh2
user git
hostname github.com
identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_2
Now use "gh1:username/reponame" and "gh2:username/reponame" as
URLs. It all just works.
