Description

STR:

Even though I specified an explicit Git URL, the log tries to parse it into a (public) GitHub userOrg/repo form. That's not possible, hence the log ends up looking like that:

[535 ms] Cloning Github repository: unknown-owner/myRepo into /workspaces/myRepo

That makes debugging clone fails into the container much harder than it needs to be, because useful information is stripped out. Can the log message be adjusted to be more helpful, i.e., to contain the full Git URL of the repository that was cloned?
