git supports ssh URLs in two forms:

• ssh://[user@]host.xz/repo
• [user@]host.xz:repo

Using the first form, the repo identifier contains a leading slash; using the second, it doesn't.
The slash in the ssh:// form is a necessary delimiter.

For compatibility this leads to the awkward form:
[user@]host.xz:/repo

It also means that confdir filenames always need to start with an underscore or won't support the ssh:// form.

Possible workarounds:

• Create entries for both 'repo' and '/repo'
• When using confdir, create a symlink

Both of those methods create administrative overhead.

My proposed solution is to always strip the leading slash. However, this would break existing configs.

Comments?

Didn't know about this project, very cool & lightweight.

Thx for putting this up, l might integrate this into https://github.com/coderofsalvation/podi as it doesn't seems to contain too much bashisms (podi is limited to /bin/sh).
