A few quick updates...

Per argument conventions, these will be "key_file" and "ssh_opts" soon.

(Testing is welcome!)

Basically using this you will no longer need to know about tricks where you
have to use the "environment" keyword to set "GIT_SSH" as an environment
variable.

In the past, people have typically had to forward SSH keys, and this means
that it's easier to use a different key, such as a GitHub deploy key,
rather than yours, if you didn't know the above tricks.

The accept_hostkeys argument is also new in 1.5, which solves the problem
of having to manually add a git server's hostkey to known_hosts prior to
using git.

All of this combined together, the git module should be a *TON* more
friendly in 1.5!
