No, it does not send the host name.

The host name in SSH that Git sees could be an alias in the user's
~/.ssh/config file that is rewritten to a different host. So virtual
hosting keying off that could be confusing since the end user expects
to have more control over it than they do with git:// or https://
where the host name is usually a DNS record the user does not control.
