If you're using a newer version of OpenSSH you can use "Master"
mode to have ssh automatically reuse an existing ssh connection
rather that reconnecting each time.

Once you're logged into this connection, all subsequent connections
by Git will piggyback on it removing the connection overhead.

You'll need to add something like this to your ~/.ssh/config:

 Host *
   ControlMaster auto
   ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h:%p

And make sure to create the sockets directory:

 mkdir ~/.ssh/sockets
