non-git support

[freeeve]

Given that it's listed several places that this is for "git" management, this may be one of those rejected ideas, but I thought I would mention it.

Do you have workflow ideas for non-git hosted stuff? In particular, Gustavo Niemeyer seems particularly fond of bzr on launchpad, which makes his libraries unusable with johnny-deps without creating a git mirror or something (although they work fine with go get).

I think at this point we use so many specific bits of Git that it would be
very difficult to support more than one VCS. Having used a number of VCSs
in the past I know there's a lot of common ground, but
least-common-denominator functionality also makes for a poor user
experience. On a personal note, I will be glad if I never have to use bzr
or launchpad again, though I know that's unlikely.

I think it would be nice to remove dependency from github.com though.

This regexp seem to be very aggressive:

Also I wonder if the https:// appending could be skipped if the schema for URI was already provided here:
