That message comes from the ssh client. So the "we" here would have to =
submit a
patch to OpenSSH".

The easier way to diagnose inside git is to set GIT_TRACE, which makes
it more clear:

  $ GIT_TRACE=3D1 git clone ssh://bogosity:/repo.git
  ...
  17:05:00.734019 run-command.c:347       trace: run_command: 'ssh' 'bo=
gosity:' 'git-upload-pack '\''/repo.git'\'''
