The command learned "--no-local" option to + turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file:// + URL. + + * "git fetch" and friends used to say "remote side hung up + unexpectedly" when they failed to get response they expect from the + other side, but one common reason why they don't get expected + response is that the remote repository does not exist or cannot be + read.
