Description

If provided with a full url, e.g https://git.stryder.cc/lina/fzf.fish, or git@github.com:0x4c756e61/fzf.fish.git, paket should directly pass it as-is to git.

paket add git@github.com:0x4c756e61/fzf.fish.git should clone the corresponding repository, rather than trying to clone https://github.com/git@github.com:0x4c756e61/fzf.fish.git.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how paket currently constructs clone URLs from user input, and modify the logic to detect and handle full git URLs (e.g., git@... or https://...) without prefixing them with the default base URL.
