Re: git protocol over port-forwarding

I think it could be done but with _two_ port forwarding, one from git

to use different port...

All the protections against man-in-the-middle attacks (host key
verification, etc) prevent straight port forwarding. That's why if you
want git over ssh you have to use the proxycommand option to ssh.

IMHO, YMMV, etc. ;-)
