Description
it would be great if Gitpod could handle URLs for schemes http:// and https:// in exactly the same format as it is understood by git clone <git-url>.
We should evaluate if we can make https://gitpod.io/#<git-url> work or if this causes ambiguities with GitHub-URLs.
URLs that require password authentication or an installed SSH-key should be handled in separate issues.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how Gitpod handles https://gitpod.io/# URLs and compare that behavior with the git clone URL formats linked in the issue. Done means unauthenticated HTTP and HTTPS Git URLs work without ambiguity with GitHub URLs; password- and SSH-key-authenticated URLs remain out of scope.
