Sure. I'm perfectly happy to make connect.c just ignore any "git+" prefix, 
and let people do it.

What I object to is:
 - the totally *idiotic* notion that "ssh" is somehow different
 - encouraging people to actually *use* that inconvenient format

The fact is, nobody really cares. We've happily used the non-"git+" forms 
for over two years, and there has never *ever* been a case of actual 
confusion. So allowing the "git+" prefix everywhere may be _logical_, but 
it's still totally idiotic and user-unfriendly.
