Re: [PATCH v5 2/9] connect: only match the host with core.gitProxy

Currently, core.gitProxy doesn't actually match purely on domain names
as documented: it also matches ports.

This per-port behavior seems like an oversight rather than a deliberate
choice, so, make git://kernel.org:port/path call the gitProxy script in

Hmph.  The fact that hostandport, not just host after stripping
possible ":port" part, is passed to the function smells like a
deliberate design to allow people to use different proxy for
different port, so I am not sure everybody agrees with your "seems
like an oversight".

Don't existing users depend on the behaviour?  Isn't the change
robbing Peter to pay Paul?
