Actually, this was an unrelated question and a wrong one to ask at that. Even though I personally haven't created foo:bar.git repository, because it is no longer 2005, it is highly likely that somewhere there is such a person who depends on the current behaviour of turning that to "bar" on the cloned side. Similarly, even if we the people who read the Git mailing list collectively do not know anybody who has [email protected] repository, it is highly likely that somewhere there is such a person who depends on the current behaviour of turning that to "foo@bar" on the cloned side. So the ideal would be to keep turning $site/foo:bar.git to bar, $site/[email protected] to foo@bar, and $scheme//u@p:$host/ to $host. And it would be ideal if we do so without much code churn. "The whole site is dedicated to host a single repository at the root" is a highly unlikely set-up and it feels wasteful to spend too much effort on. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
