I've been investigating a bug reported by OpenNMS that's triggered by their sources.  Their documentation indicates that I can obtain those sources from 'git://opennms.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/opennms/opennms', and yet when I tried to paste that into the Git Repositories view, I'm told that "Clipboard content is not a directory path".  Shouldn't the clone and add function be supported for clipboard values that represent a URL and not a filesystem location?

Pasting the specified URL works here, it opens the clone wizard.
