Subject: [PATCH] connect.c: Tell *PLink to always use ssh protocol

From: Sven Strickroth <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:58:49 +0100

Default values for *plink can be set using PuTTY. If a user makes
telnet the default in PuTTY this breaks ssh clones in git.

Since git clones of the type user@host:path use ssh, tell *plink
to use ssh and override PuTTY defaults for the protocol to use.
