Sign-off?

As the patch was whitespace-broken, I'm proposing to rewrite it like the following.

-- >8 -- url.c: "<scheme>://" part at the beginning should not be URL decoded

When using the protocol git+ssh:// for example we do not want to decode the '+' as a space. The url decoding must take place only for the server name and parameters.

This fixes a regression introduced in 9d2e942.
