Regarding the recommended method for using git clone, after a little
tinkering I realized that I do, in fact, have SSH access for Git-- Or, to
be more precise, I didn't have access but I had the ability to make it so
that I did.

Specifically, I noticed the "SSH Key" field in user administration (is that
new or was that always there?).  By using ssh-keygen and adding the
newly-generated public key to that field in my php.net user account, I was
able to successfully perform a git clone using git@git.php.net:php-src.git.

So here's my question:  Assuming everyone with SVN karma can do this as
well, is there any cost that would make it undesirable for us to recommend
wide use of this?  I.e. I remember somebody mentioning something about
limited SSH ports available.  Could you elaborate on that?

If it is doable, then I'd recommend scrapping my previous suggestion and
going with the SSH option (though still mentioning the https one as an
lighter-weight alternative) and also adding a brief section on how to
configure add/configure the necessary keys to make it work.  Again I'm more
than happy to do the heavy lifting on actually updating the docs; I just
want to make sure we're all on the same page before I do.


Thanks!  =3D)
