The current format will work for those users who have the corresponding `git-remote-` adapter installed, but yes I guess we need to refine a bit what we mean by a "URL". Currently it's actually not really a URL but the "name" of a Git repository, tho it happens to look very much like a URL. Maybe we could use something like `:url (hg "https://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/enwc/")` -- Stefan
