I think that this is an invalid URL, that just happens to work, so it's 
correct that the link we produce is urlencoded.

(See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string#URL_encoding)

So it seems the urlencode is correct, but the urldecode isn't working.

I've applied a one-character change which appears to fix things.

This was actually fairly easy to reproduce locally, once I realized what 
was going on:

$ export url="libssh%2Flibssh.h" ; printf '%b' "${url//%/\x}"
libsshx2Flibssh.h

$ export url="libssh%2Flibssh.h" ; printf '%b' "${ur//%/\\x}"
libssh/libssh.h
