Don't try to understand my Github URL

[Julow]

I get this error when I run dune-release opam submit:

dune-release: [ERROR] The URL to your remote fork of opam-repository gh:Julow/opam-repository does not seem to point to a github repo.
  Try editing your config with `dune-release config set remote <URL>` or providing a valid Github repo URL via the --remote-repo option.

No other URL exists due to my configuration. SSH URLs can be arbitrarily complex (even when pointing to Github) and I don't want any tool to decode mines. Git doesn't, for example.

Does the workaround mentioned work though?

The whole opam submit thing is a bit wonky since it uses a local checkout, edits it and submits. In the future I would much prefer to create a commit using the Github API. Then there is no need to deal with peoples URLs and setups.

[Julow]

The problematic part is not requiring a URL, which works fine as long as it doesn't have a meaning other than being a URL for git.
API calls require a user name, and it's currently decoded from the URL of the fork, which makes sense in many cases but doesn't work in general.

I have not found a workaround, this requires a fix: #480

[Julow]

The user name is used to identify branches when creating the PR, something like { "head": "user:branch-name" }.

This is partly fixed by #480 but it's not documented and the tool will not ask for the information interactively (instead it'll fail for a bad reason).
