This patch series doesn't mention GitHub anywhere (except in the patch
series description) so I don't think it only supports GitHub URLs.
Admittedly, only one updater, "github", currently produces git-reference
URLs, but I sent a patch series [2] that adds an importer which produces
git-reference URLs and the corresponding updater (see ‘git-fetch.patch’)
produces appropriate git-reference objects.
