Do not support "partial URL shorthand" anymore.
We used to support specifying the top part of remote URL in
remotes and use that as a short-hand for the URL.
$ cat .git/remotes/jgarzik
URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/
$ git pull jgarzik/misc-2.6
This is confusing when somebody attempts to do this:
$ git pull origin/foo
which is not syntactically correct (unless you have origin/foo.git
repository) and should fail, but it resulted in a mysterious
access to the 'foo' subdirectory of the origin repository.
Which was what it was designed to do, but because this is an
oddball "feature" I suspect nobody uses, let's remove it.
