They exist because some people seemed to think that people shouldn't
use "ssh://" since they thought that only ssh should use that.
Which is obviously bullshit, since by that logic all the other formats
should have that idiotic "git+" format too ("git+https", anybody?). It
doesn't actually help anything, and it only pushes somebodys broken
agenda.
So there was a push for that silly thing by a couple of people, but it
was always wrong. Don't even document it.
Leave it in the source code as an option, and maybe add a comment
about "This is stupid, but we support it for hysterical raisins".
Don't add it to any real documentation. Not even as deprecated. That
just validates it further.
