What
Remote URLs that differ only by a leading slash or percent-encoding now resolve to the same repository identity, and malformed paths are rejected rather than half-parsed.
Details
The scp-style parser strips leading slashes from the path.
The owner/repo result must split into exactly two non-empty segments, otherwise parsing returns null.
The URL-form sanitizer attempts decodeURIComponent(r.pathname) inside a try/catch, so a failure to decode leaves the path untouched.
Evidence
r.pathname = decodeURIComponent(r.pathname);
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
