In particular it "does not support [...] the non-interactive uses of SSH", which the git+mosh transport would require, though.

That means that you would have to invest quite a bit of effort into enhancing mosh to *support* the non-interactive uses of SSH before you could start implementing `git-remote-mosh`...
