A URL like file;//. is (no longer) supported by Git: Typically there is no host, and RFC1738 says that file:///<path> should be used. Update t5705 to use a working URL.Interesting. This looks like it was unintentionally lost in c59ab2e (connect.c: refactor url parsing, 2013-11-28). Given RFC1738, and that this is the first notice of it (and that it is not even a real use case, but something questionable in the test script), it's probably OK to declare the syntax dead and not treat it like a regression.
Yeah, I tend to agree. I do not think there is any <scheme>:// that lets you say things relative to something that is not "root" of the namespace, and it was a bug the old test depended on that we did not notice it as an error when "file://." tried to refer to "the current directory".
