Commit 7e837c6 (clone: simplify string handling in
guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09) changed clone to use
strip_suffix instead of hand-rolled pointer manipulation.
However, strip_suffix will strip from the end of a
NUL-terminated string, and we may have already stripped some
characters (like directory separators, or "/.git"). This
leads to commands like:
git clone host:foo.git/
failing to strip the ".git".
We must instead convert our pointer arithmetic into a
computed length and feed that to strip_suffix_mem, which will
then reduce the length further for us.
It would be nicer if we could drop the pointer manipulation
entirely, and just continually strip using strip_suffix. But
that doesn't quite work for two reasons:
1. The early suffixes we're stripping are not constant; we
need to look for is_dir_sep, which could be one of
several characters.
2. Mid-way through the stripping we compute the pointer
"start", which shows us the beginning of the pathname.
Which really give us two lengths to work with: the
offset from the start of the string, and from the start
of the path. By using pointers for the early part, we
can just compute the length from "start" when we need
it.

When we run "git clone $url", clone guesses from the $url
what to name the local output directory. We don't have any
test coverage of this, so let's add some basic tests.
This reveals a few problems:
- cloning "foo.git/" does not properly remove the ".git";
this is a recent regression from 7e837c6 (clone:
simplify string handling in guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09)
- likewise, cloning foo/.git does not seem to handle the
bare case (we should end up in foo.git, but we try to
use foo/.git on the local end), which also comes from
7e837c6.
- cloning the root is not very smart about URL parsing,
and usernames and port numbers may end up in the
directory name
All of these tests are marked as failures.
