Then the last @ would still be the separator between the login/password and the hostname, and looking at the '@' starting from the right hand side would still work. The problem is if you have a ":" in your login or password, _then_ it is ambiguous (but by far less common), but the @ is here to split something that can have a @ in it (login:pass) and something which can't (hostname), so there isn't any ambiguity. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
