I thought some more about this, and realized that it really doesn't make 
sense for there to be another name for this.  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.
