This patch makes sense to me. The way I have done this in the past is to
use ssh's config. So I set my remote in one repo to "foo:repo1.git" and
another to "bar:repo2.git", and then:
Host foo
Hostname actual-host.example.com
SomeOption ...
Host bar
Hostname actual-host.example.com
SomeOption ...
(or more likely, most repos are fine with the defaults, and you only
need one fake host block for the oddball repo).
But I think your solution is a more direct and less confusing way of
accomplishing the same thing.

Probably s/'GIT_SSH_COMMAND'/the &/.
Are we using backticks for typesetting environment variables now? That
has always been my preference, but I haven't kept up with the typography
patches that have been flying lately. +cc Matthieu.
(Similar question for commands like 'git fetch').

The code itself looks obviously correct. :)
