Alternative Uri object for handling Git repository URL format #

There are various format of URL can be applied for fetching Git repository. However, not every format can be simply handled by Uri.parse in Dart. For example, it is possible to parse https://git-example.com/alice/sample_text.git but not git@git-example.com:alice/sample_text.git.

// That works
final Uri httpsGit = Uri.parse("https://git-example.com/alice/sample_text.git");

// FormatException
final Uri altSsh = Uri.parse("git@git-example.com:alice/sample_text.git");

As a result, RepositoryUrl should be used rather than Uri which able to resolve URL that Uri.parse can't:

// Both worked
final RepositoryUrl httpRepo = RepositoryUrl("https://git-example.com/alice/sample_text.git");
final RepositoryUrl altSshRepo = RepositoryUrl("git@git-example.com:alice/sample_text.git");
