Comment 4 for bug 445156

Odd. Here's the output of my git clone-

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rockstar/libvdpau/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

It looks like git handles %7e different than ~ in requesting a URL, so maybe the escaping is also breaking bzr-git. Jelmer, could you shed some light on this?
