title: git clone trailing slash
body: <p>I would just like to understand the significance of a trailing slash with <code>git clone</code>, especially as only the one without a trailing slash seems to work (for a colleague both seem fine).</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples/
  Cloning into 'examples'...
  ERROR: Repository not found.
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
