Come to think of it, I should be able to build git-ssh-push and
git-ssh-pull as fully backward compatible way to call the
counterpart with original name, instead of supplying just
symlinks the same way I do currently.  Let me work do that
before I do 0.99.7 this weekend.

And the old and new binaries will be built separately anyway, I
could use GIT_SSH_FETCH and GIT_SSH_UPLOAD in the newname
binaries while keeping the old names in oldname binaries.  Ack?
