From: Sven Strickroth Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:58:49 GMT Subject: [PATCH] connect.c: Tell *PLink to always use ssh protocol 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.
