Mandatory requirement for link to github .git repo is unusual

[RobertSwirsky]

Just a little nit:

Is it really necessary to "force" a github .git repository for those using elm-make?

Error in $: Missing field "repository" which should hold a link to the project's GitHub repo.

It would be nice if this field were optional. Or at least make this just a warning.

It also requires it ends in .git. My repo doesn't

https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/chatterbeak.dashboard

So I get:

D:\repos\chatterbeak.dashboard\elm [develop ↑ +0 ~1 -0 !]> elm-make
Error in $: Problem with the "repository" field.

The given URI does not end with .git
D:\repos\chatterbeak.dashboard\elm [develop ↑ +0 ~1 -0 !]> elm-make
Error in $: Problem with the "repository" field.

The given domain does not start with <https://github.com/>
D:\repos\chatterbeak.dashboard\elm [develop ↑ +0 ~1 -0 !]>

To reproduce:

• Make an elm-package.json that's missing the repository field
• Make an elm-package.json where the repository url doesn't end in .git
• Make an elm-package.json where the repository isn't on "github"

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

This has been reported elsewhere and will be nicer in future versions. I'd prefer to track it a different way, so I'm closing this one.

I got bit by a related problem that I found in another issue--my repo names have multiple dots in it, which simply crashed the runtime! Thanks for taking care of this.
