How is vcs_url changed if at all when git_url has a non-https prefix or .git suffix?

Looking at some non-cocoapods vcs_url values (generated from info() in fetchcode/package.py) -- which often come from the git_url value in https://api.github.com/repos/{repo_owner}/{repo_name} for those PURLs with a GH repo -- I see some that look like this

• for pkg:github/avahi/avahi@0.8 -- "vcs_url": "git://github.com/avahi/avahi.git" (in https://api.github.com/repos/avahi/avahi, we see "git_url": "git://github.com/avahi/avahi.git")

or

• for pkg:npm/canonical-path@1.0.0 -- "vcs_url": "git+https://github.com/petebacondarwin/node-canonical-path.git" (in https://api.github.com/repos/petebacondarwin/node-canonical-path it's slightly different from the vcs_url -- "git_url": "git://github.com/petebacondarwin/node-canonical-path.git")

and others like this

• for pkg:npm/canonical-path@0.0.2 -- "vcs_url": "https://github.com/petebacondarwin/node-canonical-path" (as noted just above for @1.0.0, the git_url starts with git: and ends with .git.
