Otherwise, an alternative may be to always install a script, say
`git-ssh', that would invoke the real SSH in a manner specific for the
platform. The exact script installed could even be parametrized by the
Makefile. For systems using OpenSSH, it would probably just consist of
`ssh -xT "$@"'.

What do you think?
