Very wrong, indeed. The current URL scheme *is* an "exception" to the "rule" that all remotes are foreign, or the current "rule" that all remotes are ssh-style. Any patterns that we currently support are handled by recognizing a particular pattern (starts with "git://", starts with "rsync://", starts with "https://";, is a local file, is a local directory, etc), so they're all special cases. They're further special cases by virtue of the fact that the code to handle them is in the git distribution. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
