Title: #2453 ssh is not always the default

See `man git clone` on at least Ubuntu 10.10 and 12.04.

For local repositories, also supported by git natively, the following
syntaxes may be used:

· /path/to/repo.git/

· file:///path/to/repo.git/

These two syntaxes are mostly equivalent, except the former implies
--local option.
