... and this is the "obvious clean-up patch" to apply directly on top of Segev's GIT_SSH_COMMAND support, which comes before the previous one.

Subject: [PATCH] connect: rename tortoiseplink and putty variables

One of these two may have originally been named after "what exact SSH implementation do we have" so that we can tweak the command line options, but these days "putty=1" no longer means "We are using the plink SSH implementation that comes with PuTTY". It is set when we guess that either PuTTY plink or Tortoiseplink is in use.

Rename them after what effect is desired. The current "putty" option is about using "-P <port>" when OpenSSH would use "-p <port>", so rename it to port_option whose value is either 'p' or 'P". The other one is about passing an extra command line option "-batch", so rename it needs_batch.
