Make that "http", > please. :-) Unless you work extremely hard at it, you won't be using the local and/or ssh walkers. The entry is really meant for Porcelain writers (aka plumbing users). It's a tricky balancing act. Not everybody is the end user who is only interested in using Porcelain. The release note for a new release somehow needs to mention changes that would affect only plumbing users as well.
