Description

Doing yarn install in v1.6.0 with a dependency from private repository, pointing to a url that starts with ssh+git fails.

[2/4] Fetching packages...
error An unexpected error occurred: "Invalid protocol: ssh+git:".

Changing it to git+ssh seems to fix the issue.

Yarn: v1.6.0 Node: v8.9.1 OS: Ubuntu

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the protocol parsing logic in yarn's network handling, specifically for 'ssh+git:' protocol, and ensure it is treated like 'git+ssh:'. Look at the code that validates or processes the protocol part of the URL.
