The registry targets generally follow a URL formatting schema with support for a query parameter of "?dir=subpath" to specify a sub-path location below the URL root. Alternatively, an absolute path can be specified. This specification mode accepts the query parameter but ignores/drops it. It would probably be better to either (a) disallow the query parameter for the path form, or (b) recognize the query parameter and add to the path. This patch implements (b) for consistency, and to make it easier for tooling that might switch between a remote git reference and a local path reference. See also issue #4050. |
