That is great!
(It turns out .. i became addicted to git(1).)

It is working fine.
If i could voice a wish -- i'd hope for a mainstream branch; i.e.,
when all i do is

  $ git remote add -t master origin git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git
  $ git fetch -v
  ...
   * [new tag]         V_5_5_P1   -> V_5_5_P1
   * [new tag]         V_5_7_P1   -> V_5_7_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_0_P1   -> V_6_0_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_1_P1   -> V_6_1_P1
   * [new tag]         V_6_2_P1   -> V_6_2_P1
  $

So i don't get all the releases through [master]:

  $ git ls-remote git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git
  ...

  ...

It would be great if there would be the possibility to simply
follow the/a streamline (whatever it is, maybe a new dedicated
under refs/heads, like [releases] or simply whatever, there are
quite a few thereunder) and get all the releases.
While here, i'd be dreaming of an included generated configure,
too, as in checkout == distribution-to-go.
But enough -- thank you for sshd(8)!
