True.

Only a problem when the part before the colon has no directory limiter
(/) in it. And even then there is ways to work around that limitation.
And in this case, it is pretty good documented. As I told, I never
heared of such limitation in git commands.

Well, that is the reason why I first tried to solve it via file://...
Note, I have no problem with it, if that char has to be qouted somehow;
if it is clearly documented. But also then, the handling should be
consistent. In git (in this version) it is not. Pull works without
problems but push dosn't.

- -v please. I didn't get it with that alternate stuff in push.
A link to some man page is ok too.

I'll clone the repo and read about, thanks for the pointer.
I even have to find out about that alternates mechanism and what it has
to do with push but not with pull.
