Right you are, but it's still not completely easy as it requires that
the user is running ssh on his local machine that it's configured to let
the user log in without some kind of intervention (password, key).

Whoops, no I don't think that's acceptable; I guess I was implicitly
hoping there would be a way to do without (for example, check for one
error message [not a repo] vs another [no path found: ./]

Perhaps we have to go the unit testing route after all (of course,
you could also argue that we ought to have unit tests *anyway*)...
