[PATCH v2 5/6] clone: fix hostname parsing when guessing dir

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jul 29, 2015, 15:51 UTC
Message-ID
<1438185076-28870-6-git-send-email-ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<1438185076-28870-1-git-send-email-ps@pks.im>

We fail to guess a sensible directory name for a newly cloned repository when the path component of the URL is empty. E.g. cloning a repository 'ssh://user:password@example.com/' we create a directory 'password@example.com' for the clone.

Fix this by using parse_connect_url to split host and path components and explicitly checking whether we need to fall back to the hostname for guessing a directory name.
