They're called "GIT URLS" right now. I'd have hoped that was descriptive enough. But maybe not. I think it's stupid to make up a new name, it's not like it's really ambiguous *or* as if people really think in terms of RFC's. Let's face it: people talk and use email, even when they don't have a clue about SMTP. And in practice, you'll never see any difference, apart from the obvious extension of using the ssh format and the direct local path thing. Linus
