When using the 'ssh' transport, the '-o' option is used to specify an
environment variable which should be set on the remote end. This allows
git to send additional information when contacting the server,
requesting the use of a different protocol version via the
'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable like so: "-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL".
Unfortunately not all ssh variants support the sending of environment
variables to the remote end. To account for this, only use the '-o'
option for ssh variants which are OpenSSH compliant. This is done by
checking that the basename of the ssh command is 'ssh' or the ssh
variant is overridden to be 'ssh' (via the ssh.variant config).
Other options like '-p' and '-P', which are used to specify a specific
port to use, or '-4' and '-6', which are used to indicate that IPV4 or
IPV6 addresses should be used, may also not be supported by all ssh
variants.
Currently if an ssh command's basename wasn't 'plink' or
'tortoiseplink' git assumes that the command is an OpenSSH variant.
Since user configured ssh commands may not be OpenSSH compliant, tighten
this constraint and assume a variant of 'simple' if the basename of the
command doesn't match the variants known to git. The new ssh variant
'simple' will only have the host and command to execute ([username@]host
command) passed as parameters to the ssh command.
Update the Documentation to better reflect the command-line options sent
to ssh commands based on their variant.

Tell a server that protocol v1 can be used by sending the http header
'Git-Protocol' with 'version=1' indicating this.
Also teach the apache http server to pass through the 'Git-Protocol'
header as an environment variable 'GIT_PROTOCOL'.

Teach the connection logic to tell a serve that it understands protocol
v1. This is done in 2 different ways for the builtin transports, both
of which ultimately set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' to 'version=1' on the server.
1. git://
A normal request to git-daemon is structured as
"command path/to/repo\0host=..\0" and due to a bug introduced in
49ba83fb6 (Add virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) we
aren't able to place any extra arguments (separated by NULs) besides
the host otherwise the parsing of those arguments would enter an
infinite loop. This bug was fixed in 73bb33a94 (daemon: Strictly
parse the "extra arg" part of the command, 2009-06-04) but a check
was put in place to disallow extra arguments so that new clients
wouldn't trigger this bug in older servers.
In order to get around this limitation git-daemon was taught to
recognize additional request arguments hidden behind a second
NUL byte. Requests can then be structured like:
"command path/to/repo\0host=..\0\0version=1\0key=value\0".
git-daemon can then parse out the extra arguments and set
'GIT_PROTOCOL' accordingly.
By placing these extra arguments behind a second NUL byte we can
skirt around both the infinite loop bug in 49ba83fb6 (Add
virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) as well as the
explicit disallowing of extra arguments introduced in 73bb33a94
(daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command,
2009-06-04) because both of these versions of git-daemon check for a
single NUL byte after the host argument before terminating the
argument parsing.
2. ssh://, file://
Set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable with the desired protocol
version. With the file:// transport, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be set
explicitly in the locally running git-upload-pack or git-receive-pack
processes. With the ssh:// transport and OpenSSH compliant ssh
programs, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be sent across ssh by using '-o
SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL' and having the server whitelist this
environment variable.
