A question: does it work also for access via SSH, either without
public key set up (i.e. 'keyboard-interactive'), or with encrypted
private key without ssh-agent set up?

It would probably require URL i.e. ssh://git.example.com/srv/scm/repo.git
or git+ssh://git.example.com/srv/scm/repo.git and not scp-like
address i.e. [email-masked]:/srv/scm/repo.git, isn't it?
