Description

actually, when a multi-module project uses git as SCM, people often let Maven automatically calculate scm info from parent, ie add a directory named after the artifact id
then MPIR displays the info directly: this leads to messages like:
git clone https://my.git.server.com/repository.git/artifact-id

People should have fixed scm value in the artifact pom, but it's hard to explain that: people tend to imagine MPIR wrote something wrong

Hacking MPIR scm report to remove anything after '.git' would give good git clone instructions deducted from wrong info in pom
