Description
On Mac we offer the option for SourceTree to be launched from github-mac:// clone links, and it would be nice to offer the same option on Windows (the URL is of the form github-windows://openRepo/URL).
The reason we haven't done this so far is that it's tricky to restore the setting back to the GitHub client if the user turns it off again - this is a lot easier on Mac. The main issue is the location of the app is unpredictable because of ClickOnce. We want to be a good citizen and be able to undo any changes we make to hijack other people's configuration.
It could be that the GitHub client would reinstate its own configuration if it found it had been altered, since it probably has the same issue as us with app locations changing after ClickOnce upgrades. So we may not have to worry about restoring the settings in that case - check this in more detail.
