Hello everybody,

I am using  latest ubuntu patch git 1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.7:

It seems empty lines in .git-credentials files are now misinterpreted as bad urls. Removing an empty line in this file removed the problem for me (see my answer in https://stackoverflow.com/a/61420852/5005936).

Maybe you should review one of the latest patches. I propose to ignore empty lines or maybe also ignore comment lines starting with #.

Thank you very much Dirk
