By default, if the SSH binary is the default ("ssh"), Git assumes that
it's OpenSSH and sends certain options to enable protocol v2, including
-o SendEnv.
If you don't want that, you can set "ssh.variant" to "simple", in which
case Git will send only the username and the host, but not -p port, -4,
-6, or -o. If you do need a different port, then you're out of luck,
and will either have to install Putty (in which case, the ssh.variant
value would need to be "putty") or upgrade OpenSSH. Otherwise, the
simple value should work fine.
