#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`?
