Subject: [PATCH] connect: core.sshvariant to correct misidentification

I have been watching this discussion from the sidelines, and I agree
that this direction is a big improvement.
...
IIRC, the "const" in git_config_get_string_const is only about avoiding
an annoying cast. The result is still allocated and needs freed. Since
you are not keeping the value after the function returns, I think you
could just use git_config_get_value().

It is too late for today's pushout (I have this topic near the tip
of 'pu', so it is possible to tweak and redo only 'pu' branch, but I
generally hate tweaking things after 15:00 my time), but I'll fix
that before the topic hits 'jch' (which is a bit more than 'next'
and that is what I use for everyday work).

Thanks.
