+ * Potentially-partial URLs can, but do not have to, contain
+ *
+ * - a protocol (or scheme) of the form "<protocol>://"
+ *
+ * - a host name (the part after the protocol and before the first slash after

+ * - a user name and potentially a password (as "<user>[:<password>]@" part of
+ *   the host name)
+ *
+ * - a path (the part after the host name, if any, starting with the slash)
+ *
+ * Missing parts will be left unset in `struct credential`. Thus, `https://`
+ * will have only the `protocol` set, `example.com` only the host name, and
+ * `/git` only the path.
+ *
+ * Note that an empty host name in an otherwise fully-qualified URL (e.g.
+ * `cert:///path/to/cert.pem`) will be treated as unset if we expect the URL to
+ * be potentially partial, and only then (otherwise, the empty string is used).
+ *
+ * The credential_from_url() function does not allow partial URLs.
