Re: [msysGit] Re: [PATCH 06/12] connect: Fix custom ports with plink (Putty's ssh)

Perhaps I have traded one problem for another, because the msysgit
user still has to be aware of MSYSGIT_REAL_PLINK (at least she doesn't
have to set it up). And of course, the installer has to be modified to
accommodate plinkssh and my proposal.

This feels unnecessarily complicated.

What would be cool is if we could just set GIT_SSH to plinkssh 
-path-to-plink "C:\Path\To\plink.exe" (obviously a shorter flag or 
something). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work with Git's current 
command argument handling.
