Detect 'git clone' prefix and ignore

[thimmy687]

Current behaviour

I copy a branch from gerrit code review server (git clone ssh://...), want to clone a new repo and got and error ( it tries to execute git clone git clone ... )

Expected behaviour

The prefix git clone is detected automatically and will be ignored

Steps to reproduce

Copy and paste a link from gerrit

I personally feal that a user should handle this, but if someone writes a PR I would not block it.

You should just include the URL.

example string:

git clone ssh://username@gerrit-server:/PROJECT

[vbjay]

Only include ssh://...

Maybe it is possible to extend this to also detect the clone with hook from gerrit

Example:

"Clone with commit-msg hook": "git clone http://gerrithost:8080/${project} \u0026\u0026 scp -p -P 29418 jdoe@gerrithost:hooks/commit-msg ${project}/.git/hooks/"

I'd be interested to work on this issue if it's not already assigned. I believe the fix should be as straightforward as detecting that git clone is in the URL and removing it.

The base use case was just detecting git clone prefix if the following seem to be an url.
