Is vcs a standard argument (I can't see it anywhere) or do we have to
change something in order to implement it?

I don't know, but anyway, it could be

git clone mediawiki+http://some.where.xz/wiki

I know it doesn't ;-)

As "clone" is a moral equivalent of "init" possibly followed by some
auto-configuration followed by "fetch" and "checkout", it is a natural
consequence of already supporting the "remove.<name>.vcs" configuration
variable, and if we want to avoid the insane svn+http:// syntax, it is a
logical thing to add such support.

Heya,

We currently support either:

git clone mediawiki::http://some.where.xz/wiki

Or say:

git clone svn://example.com/some/svn/repo
