Hello,
Would glibc support sourceware.org git access via smart HTTPS protocol.
As git man page says as well as stackoverflow site that using git protocol
is fine for lan operations.
But for internet git access, either ssh or https smart protocol use
is necessary to prevent man in the middle attack.
Please consider giving secure git access. Also smart http/s protocol
is way better than dumb protocol. It avoids downloading too much data
again and also shows progress and stats.
For e.g. git pull via dumb https protocol fetches more than 150MB of
data immediately after each pull. But same with git protocol only 1MB.
Regards,
Veera
