As a data point, my email client correctly highlights only this one as  
a URL:

http://host/git+repo+with+spaces+in+the+path

Both of these are incorrectly highlighted:

http://host/git repo with spaces in the path
<URL:http://host/git repo with spaces in the path>

And this one too:

<http://host/git repo with spaces in the path>

So what does this mean in practice? I can right-click on the first one  
and choose "Copy". All the other ones I have to left-click and drag,  
being careful to limit the selection to the appropriate left and right  
boundaries.

Whether or not this is a big enough deal to actually care about is  
open to debate (obviously). Personally, I don't care too much seeing  
as I never use paths with spaces in them for this kind of thing.

Cheers,
Wincent
