#2060: Incorrect URL for getting the source code with git

 This is regarding an error in the contributor handbook.

 I tried to follow the instructions on
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/git/ to get a copy of
 the WordPress source code, but it failed.  When I ran `git clone
 git://develop.git.wordpress.org wordpress` I got the following output:

 {{{
 Cloning into 'wordpress'...
 fatal: No path specified. See 'man git-pull' for valid url syntax
 }}}

 With a bit of guesswork I tried adding `wordpress.git` to the end of the
 URL and it worked!  So please could the URL on that page be updated to
 `git://develop.git.wordpress.org/wordpress.git`?
