Hello,
I am currently studying a bit of the git internals and I am having a
harder time to understand the difference of git-http-fetch vs.
git-remote-http(s).
To me, they both seem to be tools that directly or indirectly utilize
libcurl to communicate with an HTTP(S) server, yet there must be an
incentive on why there are two distinct binaries for that.
Thank You
Clara
