It is *much* better to use an ssh configuration name instead of using
the full name.  This way, if there is any change to ssh (like change
the port number), you only have one thing to change.

FWIW, rebasing wouldn't be *that* complicated: AFAICT, you could just
ignore it completely up to this last point, and rebase your changes
before you push them to the plt repository.
