As you mentioned already, you could also use ssh://user@site/full/path/to/repo.git > The 'ssh://' part is omitted in numerous places on github.com. I > realize github.com isn't the final authority on the syntax of the URI, What do you mean by "final authority"? Your misconfigured URL is diagnosed by the local client on your end and I do not think it has anything to do with github. Do you mean github.com documentation primarily uses scp syntax (i.e. [user@]site:path/to/repo) instead of the fake URI syntax (i.e. ssh://user@site/full/path/to/repo), *but* misspells the former without colon (i.e. [user@]site/path/to/repo)? If that is the case, it is something github folks need to fix, but I doubt they have such a breakage. > but was this an intentional change or a regression? I do not think older clients ever allowed your colon-less scp syntax. Do you really see any *change*? IOW, not the difference between the ssh:// syntax and a misspelled scp syntax, but a difference between versions of git working and not working with a misspelled scp syntax? Which version of git worked with "git@github.com/tycho/crisscross.git" for you?
