Well, I always used git+ssh://, I did not even know it was
deprecated. The advantage of git+ssh is that the scheme clearly
identifies git over ssh, so we can choose the git helper. If we got
the ssh scheme to do the same and other revision control systems
used ssh URL (I do not even know, I have not been using something
else than git for a long time), it is not going to be possible to
find out which helper to use.

One way or another, I believe it is helpful to be able to use git
over ssh URLs, are they may be used for projects specific to a
company, not public.

Regards.
