Why not do:

host gitwork
	HostName gitorious.org
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/foo.key
	

host githome
	HostName gitorious.org
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bar.key


As "Match" is a server side feature not a client feature.   And the above would mean you'd do:

$ ssh gitwork:foo/foo.git
or
$ ssh githome:bar/bar.git

I do this trick a lot when I have the same machine with multiple login (think one web server with multi-virtual hosts all with different chroot/sftp locations).
