Currently supported git protocols are git://, http://, and https:// for 
remote repositories and file:// for local repositories. Thus bpkg has 
interpreted 
ssh:/git-codecommit.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/phoenix as a 
relative path completing it to 
file:///home/bl/ssh:/git-codecommit.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/phoenix.

For details on repository types and protocols run:

$ bpkg help repository-types

When you didn't specify the '--type git' bpkg treated the URL as an 
archive-based repository location (like https://pkg.cppget.org/1/alpha) 
as it doesn't contain any indication that it refers git repository (like 
'git:' scheme or '.git' directory extension).

When you specified the '--type git' option then everything worked as 
expected. Note that bpkg runs git commands underneath (you can see them 
when specify -v option). The repository server for 
https://git-codecommit.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/phoenix 
requires authentication. Just try:

$ git clone 
https://git-codecommit.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/phoenix

To avoid the prompt you can probably incorporate username/password into 
the URL, like 
https://<username>:<password>@git-codecommit.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/phoenix
