The problem with this is that the user may not actually know where the
repository portion of the URL ends and the path portion begins.
Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not. But there's no algorithm
for finding it, so programs would have a hard time with this method.
Whereas anyone can find the end of a URL :-).
