The argument is an executable script that will receive the path to the repos
the client wishes to clone as an argument. It is then the responsibility of the
script to return a zero-terminated string on its stdout with the real path of
the target repository.
This buys us a lot of flexibility when it comes to managing different
repositories, possibly located in many different dirs, but with a uniform
url-structure to the outside world.
