Nearly gone insane about this: adding a configuration like
[url "ssh://example.com/foo"]
    insteadOf = foo:
works for git-fetch and git-pull (of what I've tested), but does not on git-clone (As of version 1.5.5.GIT).
Given that this config appears on the git-clone manpage, am I to assume it's a bug?
