I was not previously aware that URLs not shown on that page were accepted, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Do you feel that it's important to accept these alternate URL versions that are not listed on the project page: 1) Optional trailing '/' 2) For the ssh scp form, optional leading '/'
I am on the fence. As long as the accepted URL forms are advertised clearly (which you guys do indeed do), I do not think there is much reason to spend effort to "loosen" it again. People can adjust. On the other hand, loosening _might_ reduce the cost of "support calls" (like the one I just did) from long-time users. I dunno. I just (1) was curious, as getting "error 403" when I didn't mean to talk to an HTTP server was strange, and (2) wanted to make sure I am talking with the same repo.or.cz without a funny MITM. If I sounded like complaining, that wasn't intended, and I am sorry. Thanks for serving the community for all those years.
