I am successfully using Magit on repositories located locally on my 
machine, but when I invoke magit-status in a buffer displaying a file or 
directory via tramp using SSH, I am prompted with "Git repository:" in the 
minibuffer. If I enter a tramp address like "/hostname:dirname" I see Magit 
is trying to execute git with the tramp address as a literal directory name:

magit-run*(("git" "init" "/ssh:hostname:/home/username/dirname/"))

My understanding is the version of Magit I'm using supports tramp. What am 
I misunderstanding or doing wrong?

GNU Emacs 24.2.1
Magit 1.1.1
