Hello,

Using git version 2.3.5 with kernel 3.19.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 I see the following error message when pulling or cloning a repo over ssh:

""" git clone ssh://user@mydomain:/home/user/path/to/project.git Cloning into 'project'... ssh: Could not resolve hostname mydomain:: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. """

Obviously I changed the url to hide credential info

After ensuring DNS was OK and being able to ssh to that instance directly I tried downgrading git to my distro's last installed version of git version 2.2.2 and now I can clone / pull / push to/from that repo without issue.

Is this a bug?

Best, Chris

I believe that's [1]

Remove the : between the domain and the path and it should work, per Jeff King [2]

It's a know issue/bug, sorry for the inconvenience.

There are 2 options: Either:

change the URL git clone ssh://user@mydomain:/home/user/path/to/project.git into git clone ssh://user@mydomain/home/user/path/to/project.git

(In other words, remove the ':' after the hostname)

Or Compile Git yourself from the latest git.git/master, which has this fix:

commit 9718c7c0c2a92585729d0f2e05ebf2c44b0cc56a
Merge: a59ac46 6b6c5f7
Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 20 15:28:33 2015 -0700

    Merge branch 'tb/connect-ipv6-parse-fix'
    
    An earlier update to the parser that disects an address broke an
    address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
    of the port number).
    
    * tb/connect-ipv6-parse-fix:
      connect.c: ignore extra colon after hostname
