I don't think the bug is related to the protocol. From what I've read
so far, I think you should be able to reproduce this with file:// just
as well (if not: that would be interesting additional information).

Note that you can use "repository-relative externals" with ^/ etc, so
you don't have to specify the protocol in your externals definition.

Please give the exact value you put into the property. There are a
couple of variants of the syntax, and it's not clear whether you use a
peg revision etc.

And the exact syntax of the new value.
