Subject: proposal: allow git clone for http-hosted bundles
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 16:41:54 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2841ce89-9c46-c3f2-53d8-afef6e1e5b01@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi list,

Right now it's possible to git clone a repository over http, and git 
clone a bundle from the local filesystem, but it's not possible to git 
clone a bundle hosted on http.

Would it be possible to allow this in the future? Hopefully it's only a 
minor refactor in `builtin/clone.c`.

Regards

mappu


(Back story: I'm stuck with a git frontend that only ever calls `git 
clone ${target}` - that's Golang's `go get` - but bundles are a bit 
better fit for my request patterns than raw repositories).
