hmm, yes, that's indeed fair. Well, adding a --default-hostname that is 
used if no host= is passed is completely obvious and straightforward 
and solves that issue.

I also spotted a bug in the git_path_fmt function, I test 'pos' at the 
end of the loop, but the overflow test is not done when there is no 
format involved, wich could /theorically/ lead to buffer overflow. So 
please disregard that issue, I will at least provide a patch that fixes 
that.
