My initial reaction was, if you put password on the command line, you
deserve it. However, as we improve this heuristics, perhaps it's
better to export parse_connect_url() from connect.c and use it here?
We would have more robust parsing. You can create a repo named
example.com given the url ssh://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxx:123/. Maybe it's
overkill?

There's t/t1509/prepare-chroot.sh that will prepare a chroot for this
purpose. You'll need linux, busybox and chroot permission.
