From npm's package.json docs, Git urls can be of the form:

• git://github.com/user/project.git#commit-ish
• git+ssh://user@hostname:project.git#commit-ish
• git+ssh://user@hostname/project.git#commit-ish
• git+http://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish
• git+https://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish

Not sure it's appropriate to support these kinds of URLs, but figured I'd bring it up.
