Clickable repository URL is incorrect with git scheme

[agjohnson]

When a project has a URL scheme of git://..., the clickable link is instead linked to git//..., which will result in a copied link of http://git//...

This is caused by Django's urlize filter. Not sure what the best fix would be. Custom filter?

I just imported this repository to my local instance: git//github.com/humitos/turtle-confusion-es.git and the links to Edit or View in github work great.

The problem is in the project home page at RTD, http://localhost:8000/projects/turtle-confusion/,

the URL linked there is: http://git//github.com/humitos/turtle-confusion-es.git

What should be the solution? Just replace the git:// sheme by https:// or what?

I think this doesn't need to be a link, instead just show as normal text (maybe with some style as background). Something like GitHub does.

Given that this link is basically the clone url of the repo, not the project page, and there is already a field for that.

@stsewd mmm... Interesting. In the case that we don't want to make it a link, I'd say that we need to reorder them by showing the "Home Page" first and then "Repository" (excactly in the opposite order than now)

On the other hand, in the case of Github it makes sense to not be a link since you want to copy and clone the repo, but I think that use case is not applicable to RTD. I mean, I suppose that not many RTD users clone repos from RTD; but they may explore the repo more often.

@humitos if the repo is from GitLab, Bitbucket or GitHub, we could get a link, but if it is a public repo from other service (or a custom GitLab installation for example), what could we do then?

We also could generate the home page link when the project is created (in case of the known services). What do you think?

@humitos now I came with a more simple solution p:. What about just checking the protocol? If it's https?:// we put a link, otherwise, just plain text.

@stsewd I like the idea; if you want to propose a PR, I can review it :)
