I'd like to point out a different use that may change your view. I have an insteadOf alias, gh:, that points to GitHub. Performing the rewrite is definitely the right thing to do, since other users may not have my alias available. I agree that in your case, a rewrite seems less appropriate, but I think we should only skip the rewrite if the value already matches a valid URL. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
