(Plaintext passwords are a bad idea everywhere, but at least with https, one has the excuse that there's less standardization in this area.) But Git has a special form, recognizing user@host:... as shorthand for ssh://user@host/....

Aside: The security concerns I express above are totally blown out of the water with:
