git+ssh protocol regression

Pascal Obry· Jun 22, 2010, 09:22 UTC · lore

With current git version doing:

   $ git clone git+ssh://server/path
   fatal: I don't handle protocol 'git ssh'

The '+' has been changed to ' '. This looks like the protocol in the URL has been decoded (a + is an encoded space).

The culprit is:

    decode file:// and ssh:// URLs

    We generally treat these as equivalent to "/path/to/repo"
    and "host:path_to_repo" respectively. However, they are URLs
    and as such may be percent-encoded. The current code simply
    uses them as-is without any decoding.

    With this patch, we will now percent-decode any file:// or
    ssh:// url (or ssh+git, git+ssh, etc) at the transport
    layer. We continue to treat plain paths and "host:path"
    syntax literally.

I've not seen discussion about this regression. I don't think it is intended.

Patch will be sent in a followup message.

Pascal.
