Uh-oh.
Alcarin:crisscross steven$ git remote update
Updating origin
fatal: 'git@github.com/tycho/crisscross.git' does not appear to be a
git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: Could not fetch origin
Alcarin:crisscross steven$ nano -w .git/config
Alcarin:crisscross steven$ git remote update
Updating origin
The 'ssh://' part is omitted in numerous places on github.com. I
realize github.com isn't the final authority on the syntax of the URI,
but was this an intentional change or a regression?
