An alternative patch may look like this:

diff --git a/connect.c b/connect.c
index 108f5ab..fc73cf9 100644
--- a/connect.c
+++ b/connect.c
@@ -636,6 +636,8 @@ static enum protocol parse_connect_url(const char *url_orig, char **ret_host,
 	end = path; /* Need to \0 terminate host here */
 	if (separator == ':')
 		path++; /* path starts after ':' */
+	if (starts_with(path, "//"))
+		path++;
 	if (protocol == PROTO_GIT || protocol == PROTO_SSH) {
 		if (path[1] == '~')
 			path++;

It seems to work, but I haven't thought about it too deeply ...
so I don't know if there are any problems lurking. :)

I have to go now, so if somebody wants to take this up ...

ATB,
