That wasn't easily understandable (at least for me). Well, I just did some testing -- the idea is that "server:path" is only viable without the "ssh://" schema prefix (because it implies SSH itself). Hence `git clone user@server:path` works OK for me both with Git 1.7.2.5 (Debian Linux) and 1.7.6.msysgit.0. This is obviously not a bug because Git behaves exactly as stated in its `git-clone` manual page; we just read it too creatively. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
