    Do not support "partial URL shorthand" anymore. · ea560e6d

    We used to support specifying the top part of remote URL in
    remotes and use that as a short-hand for the URL.
    
    	$ cat .git/remotes/jgarzik
    	URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/
    
    
    	$ git pull jgarzik/misc-2.6
    
    This is confusing when somebody attempts to do this:
    
    	$ git pull origin/foo
    
    which is not syntactically correct (unless you have origin/foo.git
    repository) and should fail, but it resulted in a mysterious
    access to the 'foo' subdirectory of the origin repository.
    
    Which was what it was designed to do, but because this is an
    oddball "feature" I suspect nobody uses, let's remove it.
