Add deep linking capabilities

Hi Daniel

I am very glad that you are interested in this.

My users want all sorts of things from Working Copy and issue management comes up as well, but I would much rather make a nice integration with your application than try to do something myself. I can keep my focus on specific git things (and there are really many things on that roadmap, perhaps too many) and the users will probably get a much better experience since you can give Issue handling the care and attention it deserves.

My ideal scenario would be some way to open a URL pointing to a specific repository identified by its remote URL inside your app.

It could perhaps take the GitHub or BitBucket URL as a parameter, which is what Working Copy does for its incoming deep links, with something like: working-copy://show?remote=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgit%2Fgit.git or you could substitute the scheme such that it points to your app rather than https, which is what iOctocat does, such as: your-scheme://github.com/git/git.git

There is also the possibility of using x-callback-url but perhaps this will make it more complicated than it needs to be.

But this is of course just suggestions. I am pretty flexible in how the integration is performed.

Best regards, Anders
