Hello,
I was sent here from the IRC channel.
Using git 2.1.0, the command
git clone ssh://[2001:db8::1]/repo.git
succeeds, but adding a username to the URL like this
git clone ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]/repo.git
fails with an invalid hostname message:
Cloning into 'repo.git'...
ssh: Could not resolve hostname [2001: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I found this workaround:
git clone ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]/repo.git
but this seems to be contrary to the definition of URLs in RFC 3986.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986
Please have a look at this. Thank you!

This is indeed a bug.
We handle literal IPv6 adresses OK, we handle ssh://user@host OK.
But it seems as if you are the first one using the combination of both,
thanks for the bug report.
If somebody want to have a look in the Git source tree:
connect.c, t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh and t/t5601-clone.sh may deserve an update.
