Title: This issue is most noticeable when using non github repositories...

The Manage Remotes UI accepts a URL. This is fine and that URL works when used by git. However the Manage Remotes UI has a Test Connection Button. This button invokes plink.exe directly, passing it the raw URL. plink.exe doesn't take a URL as an argument, so if we have an ssh:// format URL we parse it into a form which works with plink.exe.
