From: Matheus Afonso Martins Moreira <matheus@matheusmoreira.com>

Git commands can accept a rather wide variety of URLs syntaxes. The range of accepted inputs might expand even more in the future. This makes the parsing of URL components difficult since standard URL parsers cannot be used. Extracting the components of a git URL would require implementing all the schemes that git itself supports, not to mention tracking its development continuously in case new URL schemes are added.

The url-parse builtin command is designed to solve this problem by exposing git's native URL parsing facilities as a plumbing command. Other programs can then call upon git itself to parse the git URLs and extract their components. This should be quite useful for scripts.
