Tested some more. This works with git over openssh (possibly only
against unix systems), but not with github it seems, so this
wasn't as general of a solution I hoped. Sorry. I think the issue
is real, but my proposed solution wasn't :(.

And, of course, the github ssh remote specifiers all look like
git at github.com:alice/foo.
