Uhm, isn't host:foo.git equivalent to ssh://host/foo.git?

In any case, if you clone from a fetch-only url (which is the typical head start) then the default push url does not work (like sb above), before as well as after this series.

I noticed that I left an URL alias ("repoor" = "repoor:/srv/git/" plus ssh config for "repoor") in that example which isn't great either... Maybe I should just use generic domains (example.com).

I'll answer to the other points in a different reply.
