I noticed you also renamed git-ssh-{push,pull}.  These tools rely on 
having the same names on both sides, so you have introduced a major 
version skew problem.

True.  It seems that both myself and Daniel did not think that
would be a major problem when we were discussing the tool
renames.

As a workaround, you could always say GIT_SSH_PULL='blah' and
GIT_SSH_PUSH='bah' when you run either side to name what will be
run on the other end.

Come to think of it, I should be able to build git-ssh-push and
git-ssh-pull as fully backward compatible way to call the
counterpart with original name, instead of supplying just
symlinks the same way I do currently.  Let me work do that
before I do 0.99.7 this weekend.

Now the interesting problem is if we should rename these
environment variables ...

And the old and new binaries will be built separately anyway, I
could use GIT_SSH_FETCH and GIT_SSH_UPLOAD in the newname
binaries while keeping the old names in oldname binaries.  Ack?
