Remembering 20 different sshanoncvs commands given each time on the
command line or added each time to each clone of a repo isn't very
comfortable, too. Once you have your preferred setting in
.ssh/config, you can just do copy&paste with only changing few
parts without these (unfortunately needed) chmod tricks.
