[] is used to wrap ipv6 and because we don't know if it's actually ipv6 or v4, we accept it in both cases, so [abc] can be used in place "host" above. No [host:port]:path won't work because "host:port" is considered host name. But [host or ip]:path may work (that is after I fix my bug). -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
