Just for the completeness: This might have an unwanted side effect...
Using the -ssh parameter sets the protocol to ssh AND the port number to
22. This might break a setting where a user stores a PuTTY default for
ssh, but with a different port number (e.g. because a user always pushes
to a remote ssh repository which resides on a different port).

PuTTY settings for a named session still work, it only affects the
"Default Settings" session - so users can set up specific sessons in
PuTTY if he wants to change the default port.
