This is a short syntax supported by git because it resembles scp
usage, where you also do user at host:path. However, Git equally supports
the ssh://user@host/path syntax, which might be a better approach
because you explicitly state the protocol to use (ssh) so that a
browser may infer the appropriate program to call.

As far as I can see the print_url() function is responsible
(ui-summary.c), which does a simple fmt("%s/%s", base, suffix). So
you'd have to do some patching there in order to support that short
notion you're using.

I think it's best to use the long ssh:// syntax instead.
