Bug Description

Using snapcraft 2.9 on a yaml of this type

" gucharmap:
    source: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gucharmap
    plugin: autotools"

gives a "no handler to manage source" error, which isn't really self-explanatory

What it meant is "can't guess the source type from the url, please specify one using source-type", the error message could maybe state that?

also if the url starts with "http(s)://git" it could probably be autoguessed as being a git source
