Support for BitBucket (git repo over ssh)

[fiddyschmitt]

Hi,

It would be awesome if rclone could mount a git repo over ssh, such as BitBucket.

The command BitBucket provides to clone a repo is:

git clone ssh://git@serv:6000/repo/repo.git

I've tried using rclone's sftp to mount it, but it didn't work. Neither did sshfs-win.
Edit: It looks like git uses its own protocol for transfers.

The associated forum post

Current rclone version

1.66.0

What problem are you are trying to solve?

I'd like to mount a git repo as a drive letter.

How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?

Support git repos as just another 'remote'

There is an existing issue suggesting to add git support, #4927. It originally refers to git's http(s) protocol though, however in the comments there is mention of a Go module (go-git) which would probably be used to implement it, and it supports ssh as well it seems. So these issues are probably close enough to warrant merging them into one?
