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 if 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 to 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 repeated pull.
Regards,
Veera
