If you try to access a repository by name (e.g., "git clone foo", "git fetch foo"), git will look for "foo.git". This magic lookup works for local repositories, and for remote repositories served over ssh or by git-daemon. I think it should also work for smart-http, but I didn't check. It doesn't work for dumb http (because it would involve making several exploratory http requests). -Peff -- 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
