[PATCH v7 04/10] git_connect: factor out discovery of the protocol and its parts

["Torsten Bögershausen" <tboegi@web.de>]

git_connect has grown large due to the many different protocols syntaxes
that are supported. Move the part of the function that parses the URL to
connect to into a separate function for readability.
