Feature

What is the current behavior?

Unable to install packages from github repos using git+ssh protocol

I should be able to install packages using package names, packages github URL using both _https_ and _git+ssh_ protocols

Without that being supported it is not usable for my company since we have lots of packages that are internal and only hosted on a git server.

@Itrulia I totally agree because even for us its the same scenario. Its important to provide this support for widespread commercial adoption. cc: @wycats @kittens @paulirish

This is a deal breaker for me as well. As an added request: AFAIK npm currently fetches git packages every single time, regardless of locking it to a specific commit. This is highly undesirable, so Yarn should also check a local cache and/or skip urls locked to a commit SHA1 on subsequent install/update calls.
