 One of the changes in the upcoming release is to reduce this to one,
 except for an occasional second one.

That's cool - didn't know a rework of the ssh interactions had
happened.

It's not actually anything to do with ssh; it's that the git native 
protocol code tries to do as much as possible in each of its connections.

It would be really good if we could detect if there's an
existing "master" connection and piggyback over that (see options -M
and -O). Reading man ssh_config it looks like we may be able to say
something along the lines of " -o ControlMaster=auto ".

People who want that will presumably set it in their ssh configuration.
