Really?

What does `ssh://what.the.hell.org/some/file' per se mean?

SSH is a protocol, but rather in the sense similar to TLS, not to HTTP. If it has some addressable objects, which could be referred to by the path part of the URL, they should be the programs to execute at the remote server, i.e., in our case the path to the GIT client binary, and certainly not the name of the repository, which has nothing to do with the SSH protocol.

(Just for completeness: I do not advocate using git+ssh, but your arguments against it look somewhat illogical.)

				Have a nice fortnight
