This is one of the more obvious examples I would think as the protocol is different. What about:

     git clone git@example.com:git/git     (differences outside host part)
     git clone git@example.com:GIT/GIT     (differences outside host part)

If the host has a filesystem which respects capitalization, these may be two different repositories.
