Remove repository URL #86

Closed wilder closed 6 years ago

Why? Good to point to where this project lives.

wilder commented 6 years ago

@ThomasHabets It seems unnecessary because the browser already shows the url when we're in the repository and also because after cloning it, we can see the repository location by typing git remote -v.
It would make sense to keep if it is used internally by Google.

Git, being a distributed system, may end up in some checked out repo (or even a tarball without a .git at all) that has no git remote -v pointing to the main URL.

Also good to see URL history from the git repo if/when the project moves off of github. (to be clear: no plans, but who knows what the next decades will provide).
