Currently I have the folowing in my ~/.ssh/config:

  # TP S.A. blocks repo.or.cz
  Host repo.or.cz
	NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes
	HostName localhost
	Port 2222

and I can simply use "git push repo" without any changes. But I have to run

 $ ssh -f -N -L 2222:repo.or.cz:22 jnareb@host.example.com

first. Is there any way to automate this?
