Alas, I did put the following in my .ssh/config file and it still didn't
work:

address@hidden:~$ cat .ssh/config
Host savannah
HostName savannah.nongnu.org
Protocol 1

That doesn't make sense then; why is ssh ignoring my instruction to use
protocol 1 that I put in .ssh/config?

Can you explain a bit more?  The sshd(5) manpage describes the command
option, but I'm not clear on what putting /usr/lib/sftp-server there
would do?  Also, I don't have an authorized savannah key; Savannah has
made my regular key authorized.
