Yikes! I meant 'host.xz:foo/.git'. That should give us 'foo'. Thanks for
the correction.

Interesting. I've usually seen host.xz:foo like syntax in HTTP URLs. For instance,

    http://host.xz:4000/bar.baz.git

`git_url_basename` returns `bar.baz` for the above.

I wonder what real-world URL has a syntax like 'host.xz:foo/.git' for which
'foo' would be an appropriate basename to return. Does a real-world URL of
this form exist? Or is this just cooked up to demonstrate the basename that
would be returned for a hypothetical URL like this?

Junio already answered all of your questions, I'll just add that I
lifted that example from the git-clone documentation [1] that uses the
exact same basename extraction function.
