As regards git, commands like git-clone [1] and git-pull [2] accept a wide
range of URL types (look for the sections "GIT URLS" in the man pages
below).

[1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html
[2] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-pull.html

It would surprise me if hg had not the same capability.
