Show warning when a URL with #egg is provided to pipx
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
Exposing the shell commands of extra dependencies does not work when installing via git+ssh. It works when installing from a local directory.
How to reproduce
Create a git repository git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/.../my-package.git with a package whose extra dependency exposes a shell command. Then, run
pipx install --include-deps "git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/.../my-package.git#egg=my-package[extra-dependency]"
The shell command of the extra-dependency is not exposed, even though the extra dependency is installed in the venv.
Expected behavior
The shell command should be exposed.

So
package-with-extras[httpie] @ git+https://github.com/hrittich/package-with-extras.gitworks correctly, while the#egg=part is actually completely discarded by pipx. Since the#egg=format is a legacy format that was never standardised, and thename @ urlformat was a standard much before pipx was implemented, I am inclined to say the latter form should not be used with pipx.We could potentially emit a warning if the
#egg=fragment is detected and tell the user this has no effect at all, but it’s a nice-to-have feature and not critical.A pull request on that addition would be much welcomed.
