Thanks for the information. I was wrong as I thought ssh URLs are only
cloneable by maintainers. Now what I need is:

{
    "version": 1,
    "type": "info",
    "resultcount": 1,
    "results": {
        "ID": 197458,
        "Name": "package-query",
        "PackageBaseID": 35915,
        "PackageBase": "package-query",
        "Version": "1.6.2-1",
        "Description": "Query ALPM and AUR",
        "URL": "https://github.com/archlinuxfr/package-query/",
        "NumVotes": 1007,
        "OutOfDate": 0,
        "Maintainer": "archlinuxfr",
        "FirstSubmitted": 1269472680,
        "LastModified": 1434485688,
        "License": "GPL",
        "URLPath": "/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/package-query.tar.gz",
        *"GitRepoPath":
"ssh+git://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/package-query.git/
<http://aur@aur4.archlinux.org/package-query.git/>",*
        "CategoryID": 1,
        "Popularity": 0
    }
}

Seems the RPC node does not support such a field. Does that mean hardcoded
paths are the only option? For example "ssh+git://
aur at aur4.archlinux.org/%s.git/".
