+when i want to
+
+    git annex get file
+
+on repo ssh://host-without-port/annex, it works, but if i want to get a file from ssh://host:5122/annex, it tries to run command
+ssh ["host:5122", "git-annex-shell 'configlist' '/annex/file'"] and fails. ssh needs the -p option to set the default port.
+this is confusing because git can handle this url correctly, and will happily clone/push/pull to/from these url.
+
+temporary workaround is to use remote.name.annex-ssh-options, but we need to workaround when doing get and remove the workaround when pushing/cloning.
+
+if i had more time, i would have learned haskell and provided a patch ;)
