rustpkg fails to install package from git repo

[fabiand]

It seems as if rustpkg doesn#t detect the git:// prefix properly, at least it's trying to fetch the git repo using https ...

$ rustpkg install git://github.com/mozilla/servo.git

Rustpkg operates on pkgids, not urls. But perhaps it should notice when passed a url!

[fabiand]

@graydon oh - I saw the usage (using an url) in one of the examples, either in the rustpkg help or one of the related documents.

This is still an issue.

Rustpkg is no longer part of the Rust suite. This can be closed.
