What odd character do you have there before the 'git://' and why?

Hrm... no idea... must be some weirdo evolution thing...

It cuts-and-pastes into some whitespace that isn't space, and that the 
shell thus makes part of that word when parsing. It seems to be U+FEFF, 
which is "zero-width non-break space", but what the heck is the point of 
that kind of garbage in email?

No idea how it got there.

Is this some new way for Evolution to screw up?

Quite possibly. I'll do some tests to see if I can reproduce locally...
it could be the result of a key combo that leaves that in the mail but
isn't visible... weird.

Sorry about that,

Cheers,
Ben.
