Sorry about that.  Thanks for noticing.

There is no plan to change that.  This documentation gotcha was
just that yours truly stupidly merged documentation changes

[PATCH] Documentation: "host:path/to/repo" is git native over ssh.

ssh+git), but without method:// is shorter to type, so mention
only that one in the short and sweet list.
