There where 2 comments in the review.
The most important thing is that now
git://[example.com:123]/path/to/repo is valid, but it shouldn't.
This patch fixes it:

@@ -673,7 +669,7 @@ static enum protocol parse_connect_url(const char *url_orig, char **ret_user,
          * "host:port" and NULL.
          * To support this undocumented legacy we still need to split the port.
          */
-       if (!port)
+       if (!port && protocol == PROTO_SSH)

The other thing is that I asked for a test case for
git://[example.com:123]/path/to/repo
which shouldn't be hard to do.

If nobody else things that this comment in the code is stale:
-       /*
-        * Don't do destructive transforms as protocol code does
-        * '[]' unwrapping in get_host_and_port()
-        */

then just leave it as it is.
Thanks
