When working with big projects over a slow, unreliable connection, currently there is no way to resume a clone or pull when the connection breaks. mosh is a better replacement for ssh over unreliable connections. supporting git+mosh protocol will go a long way in supporting people who work with unreliable, mobile networks, especially in developed countries (I personally have to try many times when working with large projects as my 3g mobile connection keeps dropping. I recently discovered mosh and it works like a charm. More about mosh https://mosh.mit.edu/
From https://github.com/keithw/mosh:
Mosh does not support X forwarding or the non-interactive uses of SSH, including port forwarding.
In particular it "does not support [...] the non-interactive uses of SSH", which the git+mosh transport would require, though. That means that you would have to invest quite a bit of effort into enhancing mosh to *support* the non-interactive uses of SSH before you could start implementing `git-remote-mosh`... Ciao, Johannes
