Hi,
I sometimes use url.insteadOf to create a shortcut to a central
repository.
For example, having something like[*1*]
[url "git://repo.or.cz/git/"]
insteadOf = "repo:"
in my global gitconfig allows me to do a 'git fetch repo:dscho.git'.
I'd also
like to use that with git clone :). Currently if I try that, I get
Vienna:~ pieter$ git clone repo:dscho.git
Initialize dscho/.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/pieter/dscho/.git/
ssh: Error resolving hostname repo: nodename nor servname provided, or
not known
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Which I think comes from the fact that the global config isn't read in
by
remote.c when running git clone.
Now, I seem to remember there was a good reason for this (both builtin-
clone
and git-clone.sh have the same behaviour). Also, trying to quickly
hack in
something failed for me, even though it seems like a trivial change to
make
for someone more familiar with the code path.
Is there an easy fix for this?

[1] This is not really true. If I try that, I get an error:
Vienna:git pieter$ git fetch -v repo:dscho.git
fatal: I don't handle protocol 'it'
If I change the url to "ggit://.." it does work. It seems there is an
off-by-one
error somewhere? It does work for another url.insteadOf I have in my
global
config though..
