You carefully left out "git://", since that doesn't fit your "argument". The fact is, all git URL's make sense for *git*, not necessarily for anything else. They may have incidental meanings outside of git, but certainly nothing that is really *sensible*. And that is how it was designed to be. The URL's are for *git*, not for other uses. If you want to do cross-SCM tools, you need to let them know it's a "git" thing wheher it's browsable or not, so the argument that ssh is something "different" is bogus crapola. Just face it, ssh is in no way different from any of the other git URL specifiers. Linus
