Description

Right now doing something like svn+ssh://host:port/path doesn't work, since
either the port is not passed, or it is, and of course ssh can't work with
host:port hostnames.  One workaround (which I'm using and was suggested by the
folks in #svn) is to setup host aliases in ~/.ssh/config for this.  One could
also setup a new tunnel method, or use a wrapper ssh script, but all of these
are suboptimal.  It would be nice if the svn+ssh tunnel did the right thing with
the port.
