But gitweb (on git.kernel.org and repo.or.cz) both give git:// locators.

So, how should git deal with

git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux+acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux%20acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

compared to

http://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git http://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux+acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git http://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux%20acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

Note: this doesn't have anything to do with server:/path/to/repo

Not that I care, but git should probably handle things consistently.
