git: Wrong parsing of ssh urls with IPv6 literals ignores port

René Scharfe · gitster · commit 7acf438215d1 · 2012-06-13T13:10:55.000-07:00
If we encounter an address part shaped like "[HOST]:PORT", we skip the opening
bracket and replace the closing one with a NUL.  The variable host then points
to HOST and we've cut off the PORT part.  Thus, when we go looking for it using
host a bit later, we can't find it.  Start at end instead, which either points
to the colon, if present, or is equal to host.
