I don't think RFC-encoding is quoting mechanism used in emails, either.
That's funny, because I have hundreds of mails where that is the case,
and none where people used shell-quoting. Most URLs don't _need_ any
encoding, so we don't notice either way. But are you honestly telling me
that if you needed to communicate a URL with a space via email, you
would write:
'http://foo.tld/url with a space'
rather than:
http://foo.tld/url+with+a+space
?
I think 99% of all URL's communicated via email are copy-pasted from a
webbrowsers location bar. I believe most git urls (or grls, or whatever
you wanna call them) communicated via email are copy-pasted from ones
config, or written out manually.
