[PATCH] Document GIT_SSH environment variable alongside other variables

["Shawn O. Pearce" <spearce@spearce.org>]

The GIT_SSH environment variable has survived for quite a while
without being documented, but has been mentioned on list and on
my day-job repositories can only be accessed via magic supplied
through the wonderous hack that is GIT_SSH.

Advertising it alongside other "low level magic" such as GIT_PAGER
and GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY will certainly help others who need to
spread their own pixie dust to make things work.

+	the 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the
+	shell command to execute on that remote system.
++
+To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH
+you will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script,
+then set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.

+Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
