Merely dropping the “+ssh” is unlikely to result in a working URL, at least for many such repositories. Often, the publicly-accessible URL is quite different from the SSH-accessible URL. This is because the public-accessible URL is made available relative to the root of a (usually) web service; whereas the SSH-accessible URL is relative to the filesystem root directory, or the home directory of whoever logs in. Switching from one to the other needs to consider this difference. So I would suggest that the reports you file should not talk particularly about “+ssh”; they should instead point out that the URLs are not currently accessible by the public, and request that the public-accessible repository URL be specified. -- \ “The Vatican is not a state.… a state must have people.
