Pygit2 cannot parse URLs with OAuth tokens.

I'm trying to use pygit2 to clone a GitHub repo using OAuth tokens.
This actually works well from the command line, as explained on GitHub's blog here.

So, I do:

from pygit2 import clone_repository

oauth_token = 'somesuperlongtokengivenbygithub'
repo = clone_repository(
                'https://'+oauth_token+'@github.com/openwrt/luci', 
                '/tmp/repos', 
                bare=True
)

and I get back:

_pygit2.GitError: Unsupported URL protocol

Start with the clone_repository call shown in pygit2/init.py and inspect how the URL reaches the error check in errors.py. Reproduce the OAuth-token URL case, compare it with the command-line behavior described in the issue, and determine what existing URL or authentication handling applies. Done means clone_repository accepts the documented GitHub token URL without raising Unsupported URL protocol.
