when trying a git clone through ssh such as: git clone SSH://user@server/repository the error appears:

when trying to use git --help remote-SSH the following error appears:

after a lot of trial and error I found out, that the command git clone was not working because I spelled the ´SSH´ in capital.

For me as a ´normal user´ there was no visibility at all on why the command failed. The errormessage made it more confusing to me since i expected a module to be missing. A google search helped neither.

please make it work with capital letters too.
