I've just upgraded to Debian testing (jessie), and with that I got a
brand new (for me) git version:
$ git --version
git version 1.8.4.rc3
Some of my repos I use an ssh tunnel to reach, so when I want to reach a
repo forwarded to local port 2223, using the ssh protocol, the following
used to work (.git/config) in older git versions:
[remote "exp"]
url = [localhost:2223]:blink.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/exp/*
However, now I get this message:
$ git fetch exp
fatal: ':blink.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
If I don't go via the ssh tunnel (I finally have some VPN stuff these
days, so I don't really need the tunnel thing anymore, but that's going
to be a lot of remotes to update, so I'd prefer it just worked like it
used to):
- url = [localhost:2223]:blink.git
+ url = git:blink.git
... it works fine.

Ugh.. bisect pointed to my commit 6000334 (clone: allow cloning local
paths with colons in them - 2013-05-04). Will have a closer look
tonight.

I wonder why that worked (especially the "[...]") at all ?
I thought specifying a port for a SSH connection was always only
possible when using
ssh://user@host:port/path/to/repo.git
- or -
ssh://user@host:port/~user/path/to/repo.git
At least that's what I always read out of the git-clone man page.

[] is used to wrap ipv6 and because we don't know if it's actually
ipv6 or v4, we accept it in both cases, so [abc] can be used in place
"host" above. No [host:port]:path won't work because "host:port" is
considered host name. But [host or ip]:path may work (that is after I
fix my bug).

Until you get a proper fix, I wonder if this will help:
git config --global --add url."git:".insteadOf "[localhost:2223]:"
See "git help config" for details on the insteadOf config setting.

Yes, that works. Thanks!
