Jonas Fonseca a3e65d74ee Documentation/urls.txt: Use substitution to escape square brackets
This changes "[user@]" to use {startsb} and {endsb} to insert [ and ],
similar to how {caret} is used in git-rev-parse.txt.

[jc: Removed a well-intentioned comment that broke the final
 formatting from the original patch.  While we are at it,
 updated the paragraph that claims to be equivalent to the
 section that was updated earlier without making matching
 changes.]

GIT URLS[[URLS]]
----------------
One of the following notations can be used
to name the remote repository:
===============================================================
- rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
- http://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
- https://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
- git://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
- git://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
- ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
- ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
- ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/~/path/to/repo.git
===============================================================
SSH is the default transport protocol. You can optionally specify
which user to log-in as, and an alternate, scp-like syntax is also
supported. Both syntaxes support username expansion,
as does the native git protocol. The following three are
identical to the last three above, respectively:
===============================================================
- {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:/path/to/repo.git/
- {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:~user/path/to/repo.git/
- {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:path/to/repo.git
===============================================================
To sync with a local directory, use:
===============================================================
- /path/to/repo.git/
===============================================================
REMOTES
-------
In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
named file should be in the following format:
URL: one of the above URL format
Push: <refspec>
Pull: <refspec>
Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
respectively. Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may
be specified for additional branch mappings.
The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be
specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the
name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory.
URL: <url>
Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>
while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to
URL: <url>
Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
