Is it OK?  It is plausible that our client side may even want to
accept git://user:pass@host:port/local/part, and as an anonymous
service, allow it to go to git://host:port/local/part without
sending user:pass part over the wire.  Or with the same knowledge
that git:// is an anonymous service, it is also a plausible policy
to error such a request out.  To implement either needs a robust
parsing of the URL, doesn't it?
