Simply put, git+ssh:// requires ssh access and git to be present on the other side, and within those parameters it should use whatever access method is most effective. Thus, having a separate URL type only makes sense if something is fundamentally and user-visibly different between the two. -hpa ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Tags fetching. I agree that the difference isn't that big other than this (contrary to the other fetchers, ssh-fetch won't reproduce the pack setup; this may sound as a bad thing, but it prevents transfer of redundant data which is pretty much inevitable (or for free) for the other fetchers). And since we will probably move to the pack fetchers for tags as well, I agree that there indeed is little point in this. I will switch all the git+ssh fetching to it after I implement the new tags fetching. By the way, how much more CPU-intensive are the pack-based methods in practice, especially on the server (packing) side?
