Issue 3480: commentlink doesn't work when link has colon
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by org...@gmail.com, Jul 16, 2015
Affected Version: 2.11

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure a commentlink that executes a gerrit query for commit:

[commentlink "commit"]
  match = \\b([0-9a-f]{8,40})
  link = "#/q/commit:$1"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should work, but it doesn't. The text has no link at all.

Please provide any additional information below.
Replacing ':' with "%3a" resolves the issue, but then the link (and the address bar when clicking it) looks uglier.
