As a feature I wished for (ftp:// support in git-fetch) was added in 1.4.3
I tested that feature and found a minor logging issue. The mini-patch
below fixes that.  AFAIK the pattern expansion feature I've used should
be available in any current /bin/sh. If not we will have to find another
way to print the protocol part of the used fetch URL.
