Subject: Regarding the depreciation of ssh+git/git+ssh protocols
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:27:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C9Y2DPYH4XO1.3KFD8LT770P2@taiga> (raw)

c05186cc38ca4605bff1f275619d7d0faeaf2fa5 introduced ssh+git, and
07c7782cc8e1f37c7255dfc69c5d0e3f4d4d728c admitted this was a mistake. I
argue that it was not a mistake.

The main use-case for the git-specific protocol is to disambiguate with
other version control systems which also use SSH (or HTTPS), such as
Mercurial, or simply downloading a tarball over HTTP.

Some things that are affected by this include package manager source
lists and configurations for CI tooling (the latter being my main
interest in this).

A lot of software already recognizes ssh+git or https+git for this
purpose, and in the latter case, rewrites it to https before handing it
off to git.

I would like to see this feature un-disowned, and https+git support
added as well.
