git clone over HTTP returns 500 on invalid host name

[Shawn Pearce <spearce@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

$ git clone https://this.host.does.not.exist/foo
Cloning into 'foo'...
error: The requested URL returned error: 500 while accessing
http://this.host.does.not.exist/foo/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed


Hmm. Telling me the host doesn't exist is more useful than 500:

$ git clone git://this.host.does.not.exist/foo
Cloning into 'foo'...
fatal: Unable to look up this.host.does.not.exist (port 9418) (Name or
service not known)


Does anyone care about this other than me?  :-)
