Re: SSH port ignored when ssh:// prefix isn't specified

Basically, while `git clone ssh://git@example.com:2222/path` works, the same
with the `ssh://` prefix doesn't, and attempts to establish a connection to
port 22 instead: `git clone git@example.com:2222/path` (I'm not sure what it
will do with the `:2222` should the connection actually succeed).

I don't see a simple way to distinguish between "I want to connect to
port 22 and access directory 2222/path" and "I want to connect to port
2222 and access directory path". So Git chose for you the first option
(if you replace 2222 with abcd, it clearly makes sense).
