Subject: Allow specifying the remote helper in the url
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.0-rc0~62^2~21
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87422439d100f020cadb63b5da8495e5fbfb8fa3;p=git.git

Allow specifying the remote helper in the url

The common case for remote helpers will be to import some repository
which can be specified by a single URL.  Support this use case by
allowing users to say:

	git clone hg::https://soc.googlecode.com/hg/ soc
