This is exactly what GitHub does right now with our custom Erlang git-daemon. Try doing: $ git clone git://github.com/mojombo/foo and you'll get: fatal: protocol error: expected sha/ref, got ' *********' No matching repositories found. *********' This has cut down tremendously on the number of support requests we get from new users. It would be nice to cut out the clutter from the error message though.
