c5434dead6a52a48c520dfa3d8ed24dc3673ab1a commit introduced this
behaviour, and we kept it ever since.

It may look a bit weird when it is applied to git.git/, but the
intention is to shorten the log message without losing much
information.  ".../torvalds/linux-2.6.git" is similarly
shortened to ".../torvalds/linux-2.6".

You can see 'git log' output in the kernel repository and look
for commit log messages of merge commits, and notice all those
repository names with trailing ".git" stripped.
