Two comments.

 * It would have been really nicer if the push_ssh_options() got
   split from its caller in a separate preparatory [PATCH 2.5/5].

 * Use of -G for auto-detection is clever and cute, but do we know
   how safe it would be in the real world?  What worries me the most
   is "myssh -G localhost" (no extra options) that does not fit our
   expectation on "-G" to either exit immediately with an error when
   it is not understood, or to exit like OpenSSH does, and instead
   successfully makes a connection and gets stuck.
