I haven't heard anything about this series.  Is it desirable?  Or is it
not used by anybody and just another baggage we'd rather not carry?

Well, as said in series introduction, some possible uses:
- ssh with odd options without editing ssh_config (this ocassionally pops up
on #git, especially with keypair setting, dunno how much of that is
XY-problem and how much is not).
- TLS-tunneling git://.
- etc...

And yes, I use it a lot internally.
