My apologies.

repo.or.cz recently had some updates to support:

1) smart HTTP fetch
2) smart HTTP push (over https)
3) user removal of projects

Along with those updates it started doing more validation on paths.

I believe all the paths listed on http://repo.or.cz/w/alt-git.git are accepted as shown.

I was not previously aware that URLs not shown on that page were accepted, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Do you feel that it's important to accept these alternate URL versions that are not listed on the project page:

1) Optional trailing '/'
2) For the ssh scp form, optional leading '/'

Regards, Kyle
