I'm perfectly happy to make connect.c just ignore any "git+" prefix, and let people do it. What I object to is: - the totally *idiotic* notion that "ssh" is somehow different - encouraging people to actually *use* that inconvenient format The fact is, nobody really cares. We've happily used the non-"git+" forms for over two years, and there has never *ever* been a case of actual confusion. So allowing the "git+" prefix everywhere may be _logical_, but it's still totally idiotic and user-unfriendly.
