[PATCH] connect.c: Tell *PLink to always use ssh protocol

From: Sven Strickroth <sven.strickroth@tu-clausthal.de>
Date: Feb 6, 2013, 21:58 UTC
Message-ID: <5112D219.3020604@tu-clausthal.de>

Default values for *plink can be set using PuTTY. If a user makes telnet the default in PuTTY this breaks ssh clones in git.

Since git clones of the type user@host:path use ssh, tell *plink to use ssh and override PuTTY defaults for the protocol to use.
