I think that removing the trailing part will greatly reduce the complexity
to the point were it is unnecessary to have pretty_url().  My goal with
extracting this function is to isolate the complexity of formatting the
url to a single spot. I am thinking along the lines of the following
commit order:

1. Remove the "remove trailing part"
2. Add print_url()
3. Always print url when pruning
4. Reverse order of prune and fetch

I am not familiar with C conventions and I was trying to stay consistent.
I saw other global variables starting with 'g' and made an assumption.
It will use the original name in the upcoming patches.

I agree, there is no reason for introducing it in this step. Thanks for
pointing that out.
