We already handle PuTTY's plink and TortoiseGit's tortoiseplink in GIT_SSH by automatically using the -P option to specify ports, and in tortoiseplink's case by passing the --batch option. For users who need to pass additional command-line options to plink, this poses a problem: the only way to do that is to use GIT_SSH_COMMAND, but Git does not handle that specifically, so those users have to manually parse the command-line options passed via GIT_SSH_COMMAND and replace -p (if present) by -P, and add --batch in the case of tortoiseplink. This is error-prone and a bad user experience. To fix this, the changes proposed in this patch series introduce handling this by splitting the GIT_SSH_COMMAND value and treating the first parameter with the same grace as GIT_SSH. To counter any possible misdetection, the user can also specify explicitly via GIT_SSH_VARIANT or ssh.variant which SSH variant they are using. This is v2 of the patch, now turned patch series. Relative to v1, it integrates Junio's cleanup patch and Segev's follow-up Pull Request that introduces the GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant settings to override Git's autodetection manually.
