Ah, so, there is the difference - Apples and Oranges
I support users back to the oldest, commonly used, git versions -
Where I define that as the version in the current Debian stable release.
So the commentary in the gitolite release still applies to older git versions.
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/git-core
Somewhere between v1.5 and v1.7 they must have added parsing "ssh://" to the git client.
You might want to add a comment in the "Minimum Software Requirements" of Buildroot,
to go along with the addition of the user specified scheme feature for the case of
"git xxx ssh://..."
style URIs
Might cut down on the end-user puzzlement of: "Why doesn't this work for me?"
Note: I think the change happened at v1.6 but I haven't checked to be certain.
