OK, but I think it would be very good I think to have *some* URL-like syntax for git-fetch etc - people are used to copying URLs out of mail (lots of MUAs even highlight these nicely) so I often see that current syntax <URL> <branch> confuses people: they seem to lose the branch and fetch/pull the wrong one.
