Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] url: move url_is_local_not_ssh to url.h

From: "Matheus Afonso Martins Moreira via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 02 May 2026 05:28:36 +0000

From: Matheus Afonso Martins Moreira <[email-masked]>

Move url_is_local_not_ssh from connect.c/connect.h
to url.c/url.h so that the new url_parse function
in urlmatch.c, and any future code that needs to
distinguish a local path from an scp style SSH URL,
can reuse the heuristic without depending on connect.c.

No behavior change.
