You are correct in reading that it has ansible-playbook use an ssh
port other than 22. That is set using -e 'ansible_ssh_port=<some
port>' and giving direct access to the -e parameter would be
port>problematic at best,
so I added the -P parameter which is restricted to just that option
even though it's rendered as -e
The QA devel folks use phabricator and phabricator supports git repo
hosting (through http(s) and ssh). In order to support git over ssh
while keeping user information in phabricator (username, ssh key for
git, repo permissions etc.), it uses a short-circuited ssh daemon that
uses phabricator for auth instead of system accounts (restricted to
git commands, though). Git repos on alternate ports is a bit of a
pain, so to support git+ssh on port 22 I change the real ssh daemon
(that can do more than git) to an alternate port.
If those hosts always have ssh on the same different port, we could
just add that to vars?
