I tried "git clone https://gitlab.com/rstocker/emacs-bluetooth.git/" and
it worked, so we should probably allow ".git/" with a final slash as
well.

And then I also tried "git clone
https://gitlab.com/rstocker/emacs-bluetooth.git//" and it also worked,
so I guess any number of slashes are allowed after the final ".git".
Therefore I propose something like this:

"[/:]\\([.A-Za-z0-9_/-]+?\\)\\(?:\\.git/*\\)?\\'"

Thanks, best regards.
