Gir URLs with transport protocol prefix is not working

[carlolars]

It doesen't work to clone a repo with a prefix in the URL sine it is interpreting everything after the first : as an absolute windows path that needs converting, for example:

>wslgit clone ssh://git@host.xz/path/to/repo.git
wslpath: //git@host.xz/path/to/repo.git
Cloning into 'ssh'...
ssh: Could not resolve hostname ssh: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
