Thanks for this patch, which I'd like to apply upstream once it's
documented, added to example.dup, and dealt with by ninjahelper ;
I won't do this myself, but I can offer help to :
  - take care of the remote setup tests ;
  - review your patch next versions, as I'm doing for this one.

Yes, I think it's necessary to test if the protocol option has a valid
value, and exit with an error if this is not the case : this would at
least unveil some typos in configuration files... e.g. if I wrote
"protocol = fole", I would like to be informed of it in clear terms,
and not simply by seeing that a scp connection I did not expect to
happen failed.

The test I recommend above would also cover this case, IMHO.

Thanks, again :)
