Two points: * According to the "GIT URLS" section of the git-clone manual page, a stray colon between the server and path components is only allowed when working over SSH (to mimic scp's convention). So are you cloning via SSH? I would not be surprised it doesn't work for git:// or http[s]://. * Shouldn't this problem be reported to the TortoiseGit's tracker? Personally, I don't care but I think it's a good idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
