Be it ssh://host/full/path or host:/full/path or host:path/in/home, you log in as whatver ssh identifies you as to the server, and start a server-side git process over there. With ssh://host/path notation, there is no way to specify any relative path (i.e. "/path" part begins at root) so it will mean the same thing for everybody (unless you are getting chrooted or something), while host:path notation allows relative path which will be taken relative as where you are, i.e. home directory of the user on the server.
