telnet. I do not jest, this is our sysadmins' stated reasons for not
opening the git port and for tweaking their (mandatory) HTTP proxy to
block HTTP traffic from git.
(Telnet over some horrible impossibly slow buggy proprietary VPN.
It takes >5min to bring up a single connection.)
Do not underestimate the stupidity and hideboundedness of undertrained
system administrators, for it is vast.
